About Parents as Teachers

Parents as Teachers has been working with families for over 40 years, matching parents and caregivers with trained professionals who make regular, personal home visits during a child's earliest years to build strong communities, thriving families, and children that are healthy, safe, and learning. Our internationally recognized evidence-based home visiting model is backed by 40 years of research-proven outcomes for children and families. Parents as Teachers currently serves nearly 180,000 families in all 50 U.S. states, 115 Tribal organizations, six other countries, and one U.S. territory. The Parents as Teachers podcast will highlight stories of home visitors, parent educators, trainers, doulas, and researchers – and take listeners behind the scenes of our evidence-based model, and the people who bring it to life.
