Monthly home visits are the heart of the Parents as Teachers model. Parent Educators use the Parents as Teachers’ researched-based curriculum to design and deliver personal visits to families. Our goal is to empower families to create enriching and nurturing environments for their children.

There is currently no waiting list for services in Blue Valley. We continue to offer personalized monthly home visits via Zoom and hope to return to homes as soon as it is safe to do so. We continue to offer all parts of the Parents as Teachers model including developmental and health screenings. It is a critical time to make sure that children are continuing to meet their developmental milestones and we would love to partner with you to share ways to continue to offer enriching experiences to your child even when it might have to look different.

BV PAT offers a variety of Group Connections throughout the year. Families are encouraged to begin taking part in Group Connections as soon as they enroll.  Group Connections are designed to provide an opportunity for meaningful parent-child interaction, sharing developmental information with parents, and providing an opportunity to connect with other parents. Some Group Connections are open to all families and others require registration. (Please see the most recent newsletter for details regarding upcoming opportunities.)

Weekly playtimes are held on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and one Saturday a month. (See the calendar for specific days and times.) During the weekly playtimes, children have the opportunity to play with other children as their parents model play and interact with other parents.

The Resource Center is located at the Hilltop Learning Center at 7700 W. 143rd Street, Overland Park, KS 66223. It is in this facility that families may check out books on child development, parenting, discipline, health and family fun.

Parent Educators monitor and screen children's development, health, vision and hearing in partnership with parents to support the health and development of their child and identify potential delays or concerns.
