Bay County Parents as Teachers Program, Blue Ribbon Affiliate

Yesterday we had the opportunity to celebrate families who have graduated the Parents as Teachers program. We are so proud of you all. Thank you for trusting in your home visitors and the PAT curriculum. 🎓

What are your child's superpowers? 🌟
From following directions to making friends and managing big feelings, the skills that help children succeed in school start LONG before the first day of class.

A free developmental screening for ages 0–8 can help you see where your child shines and where they may need a little extra support—so they're ready to learn, grow, and thrive. Link to FREE screening in COMMENTS!

Outreach is so much more than handing out flyers or showing up to events, it’s about building trust, creating connections, and reaching families before they ever have to face crisis alone. In our profession, outreach is often the very first step in prevention, support, and lasting change.

🚨Attention Military families!!🚨TODAY!

National Home Visiting Week may be coming to a close, but the impact our home visitors make lasts far beyond these five days. 💙

Every single day, they step into homes and into lives, bringing support, guidance, and compassion to families who need it most. They meet parents where they are, walk alongside them through challenges, celebrate their wins (big and small), and help build stronger, safer futures for children.

This work isn’t easy. It takes heart. It takes patience. It takes showing up ~ consistently, intentionally, and with genuine care. And our home visitors do just that, day in and day out.

Because of them, families feel seen. Parents feel empowered. Children have brighter beginnings.

To our incredible team ~ you are the calm in the chaos, the encouragement on the hard days, and the steady presence families can count on. What you do matters more than words can fully capture.

Mandy, Jen and Mackenzie, we are so grateful for you. 💙

It is National Home Visiting Week and we want to celebrate our Home Visitors! Help us show them some love!

Moments like these are why we do what we do 💛

Our annual Parents as Teachers Easter Egg Hunt brought families together for connection, laughter, and lasting memories. Events like this help strengthen bonds, not just between parents and children, but within our community.

Thank you to all of our families for being part of something so special!
