Home Visitation is a fee long-term program for parents who want extra support with day

to day challenges and information on parenting and child development. The St. Albert

Parents' Place Home Visitation program uses the Parents as Teacher (PAT) program.

Parents are supported by a PAT certified Parent Educator trained to translate scientific

information on early brain development into specific when, what, how,and why advice for

families. Parent Educators deliver this information through the PAT Born to Learn

curriculum.By understanding what to expext during each stage of development, parents

can easily capture the teachable moments in everyday life to enhance their child's

language development, intellectual growth, social development and motor skills.

 

The Home Visitation program includes personal visits, parent group meetig and

regular developmental screening. In addition parents receive help with accessing

community services such as housing, food, childcare, education programs and

health services.

The goal of the program is to help parents give their child the best possible start

in life by providing developmental information and support.
