What Others Are Saying

“We chose Small Blessings not only because it is close to work, but because it was one of only a handful of daycares in the area with a level 4 “Paths To Quality” accreditation, amongst others. The center provides a safe environment for my son and recognizes the needs of children at different developmental stages as shown through its curriculum. I've also been very happy that they introduce the children to a variety of food through a balanced and healthy menu. They also have a great group of teachers and I’ve been very happy with all the ones my son has interacted with.”

Small Blessings Parents as Teachers Program

Our Parents as Teachers outreach program is designed to provide the information, support and encouragement parents who need and want help in assisting in the growth and development of their children during the critical early years of life. By understanding what to expect during each stage of development, parents can easily capture the teachable moments in everyday life to enhance their child's language development, intellectual growth, social development and motor skills.

Our Goals include:

  • Goal #1: Increase parent knowledge of early childhood development and improve parenting practices
  • Goal #2: Provide early detection of developmental delays and health issues
  • Goal #3: Prevent child abuse and neglect
  • Goal #4: Increase children's school readiness and school success

There are a variety of activities and events for parents to help accomplish these goals:  Health and Safety Fair, Family Workshops (at Small Blessings and onsite for corporate partners), Personal Visits, Child Health/Vision/Hearing/Developmental Screenings, Group Meetings, and providing families with a Resource Network.

If you are interested in learning more about our Parents As Teachers Program check out our Events and/or contact Lee Ann Balta, Director at llbalta@smallblessignsinc.com or 317-328-2223 ext. 115.
