PARENTS AS TEACHERS
Parents as Teachers is a nationally recognized early childhood education program providing families with monthly visits from a certified parent educator.  Proven to improve school-readiness, the mission of the program is to provide the information, support and encouragement parents need to help their children develop optimally during the crucial early years of life.  With the support of the United Way our Parents as Teachers program is now part of our PARENTS AS PARTNERS project.  Please click on the "Early Learning Center" program page to learn more about the Parents as Partners project, or CLICK HERE to view the brochure!  Contact Ramona Fink, Parent Educator, at (402) 471-9026 or email Ramona@NFCLincoln.org.
