If you already have children and are pregnant, you’ll be in the award- winning PARENTS as TEACHERS program.
This is what moms are saying about NFP and PAT: 
 

“Nurse-Family Partnership gave me a boost to my confidence and showed me that I could be a good parent to my daughter,” said Mela.“I think it was the best thing I could have done.”
"If you're anything like me, you want your children to have as many people in their corner as possible to help them succeed. Never once did I feel like a bad parent or that I was being analyzed, but rather that I was becoming a more successful parent. I am my child's first teacher and I want to give her everything I can.  Parents as Teachers helps you do that."
  
Be blessed!
