Parents as Teachers Registration Information

November 14, 2023 A child and an adult interact at a table, playing with a colorful shapes toy in a bright classroom filled with educational materials.

Parents As Teachers  (PAT) is a program available at no charge offered by Cassville R-IV that promotes the early development, learning and health of children ages prenatal to 5 years old. The PAT program provides educational services to parents and children including home visits, group meetings, yearly screenings and educational parent resources. 

We know that parents are their children’s first and most influential teachers. Mrs. Michele Fortner serves as the district's PAT Parent Educator and is available to meet with parents and children in the child's home or at the PAT facility on our school campus.  The visit will include fun activities and information to track and support your child’s growth and development. If you are interested, please call the PAT office at 417-847-5106 to secure your spot today!
