Quotes
from Families about their Parent Educator and
The Dubuque County Parents As Teachers (PAT) Program
"She is a very attentive teacher; we appreciate all the time she takes as well as her being a sounding board."
"My children really enjoy her visits. She is down on the floor with them and treats them in such a way they feel so important - they know she is there for them! She has also helped me come out of "mommy burn-out" with the advice and ideas."
"Thank you for all your support and to be more then a parent educator."
"She has
innovative/creative/educational ideas and suggestions for:
1. Solving toddler problems and
2. Games to keep them busy at the same time
Thank You"
"She truly cares"
"Thorough and fun"
"My son and I both like her a lot. My son looks forward to her visits every other week. He really enjoys the projects and books that she brings."
"She is a very kind person and is very patient. I love what she brings to our home because it helps us know how our child should be developing and what he should be doing and saying."
"She brings things to my home to do activities with my child. She brings books to read. My child is always interested to do things when she comes."
"Parent Educator with the Barney Bag" - "My children like her so much that they watch for her out the living room window. They love the games and books she brings to our house. She is the most fun "big person" they know. She lets us borrow her toys too."
"You are never too old to learn"
"The information is wonderful. The developmental activities are creative, exciting, and fun. To have it all come to our home is great."
"Parents As Teachers brings in stimulating activities I can use with my child. I have also noticed that I am aware of how she is developing, things I was not aware of before. This has helped my relationship with my child. I am very satisfied with the services of PAT."
"I
think the PAT Program is a great program and recommend it to other parents
I know in my play groups. It is a great chance to promote positive interactions
with your child, balanced by developmental concerns you can bounce off
someone who knows. It is especially helpful for us first time parents.
I think it is a great opportunity to have this resource available to parents.
I think it is too bad there are not more resources available in Dubuque
for education of this very young age group. Everyone could benefit from
it."
