The Metcalfe Home Day Care Agency is fortunate to be a member of PAT-Ottawa. Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a 3-year pilot project and is available to familes who are expecting, have newborns or children up to 3 years of age. PAT is a strength-based program designed to enhance and promote all areas of learning including language, intellectual, social and motor development.
We have a certified Parent Educator on staff who, through regular in-home visits, shares proven neuroscience research, conducts activities with the parent and child that will enhance all areas of development, and provides ongoing coaching and support. Participation is voluntary. For more information on PAT, go to www.ParentsAsTeachers.org .
