Through Nebraska SPRING, DCCT Parents As Teachers Program can access the Parent Information and Resource Center (PIRC). The PIRC includes the Family Resource Line and access to the Early Childhood Training Center Media Center. The Media Center's numerous and varied materials are available on a free-loan basis. Additional information on these resources is available at Programs and Services.
In addition to the above support, DCCT Parents As Teachers Program is one of nine Parents As Teachers (PAT) projects funded in part by Nebraska SPRING through the Department of Education Parent Information and Resource Center program. Nebraska SPRING also funds a state office that provides support to all Nebraska PAT programs.
PAT is an internationally recognized early childhood parent education and family support program. It is a voluntary program for parents with children from birth though age five. PAT promotes parent involvement in learning from the very beginning of a child’s life and fosters optimal development of the young child. This free program covers child development; suggests activities that encourage language development, intellectual growth, and social and motor skills; and strengthens the parent-child relationship.
A number of independent studies show that children who participate in PAT are significantly advanced over their peers and that these early gains continue after the children enter elementary school.
