What Others Are Saying

"Our daughter Katie has been at St. Richards now for two years and continues to excel. We recently had a conference with her teachers and they continue to give us positive feedback regarding Katie’s cognitive, social and interpersonal development. We owe many of these positive marks to the wonderful foundation she received while she attended Small Blessings. The Small Blessings staff, with their loving care and the use of the Creative Curriculum, provided an unbeatable combination in the development of our child."

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.
