Parents As Teachers

This program is designed to provide support to families throughout pregnancy until their child enters Kindergarten. PAT is FREE to all families in the Branson School District. Services can begin during pregnancy and continue until the child enters kindergarten. Children learn more during their first five years than at any other time in their life, and this program helps parents understand how their child grows and learns. For more information, contact Robin Mackey at 417-336-1887, ext. 6135. Para español por favor comunicarse con Janette Etz, 417-336-1887, ext. 6132.
