Parents as Teachers home visiting program is a highly effective program already initiated, but under-resourced in the region, with only 10% of students gaining access to the program. Through Promise Neighborhoods, this program can reach at least 50% of Southeast Alaska students. Parents as Teachers achieves four goals: 1) Increasing parent knowledge of early childhood development and improving parent practices; 2) Providing early detection of developmental delays and health issues; 3) Preventing child abuse and neglect; and 4) Increasing children’s school readiness and success.

Collaboration between schools and Parents as Teachers will fill a gap that currently exists between families and learning institutions. Family relationship building and kindergarten readiness will also be reinforced at summer “Ready for Kindergarten camps.”. This partnership, along with higher levels of community coordination addressed in STEPs Alaska will also allow for families to access the services they need and ensure better alignment with the ...
