Group Connections

Group Connections are open to all Parents as Teachers families.

Our group connections offer a variety of opportunities for families. These groups provide time and space for you to connect and play with your child. Families are encouraged to attend our groups where you can connect with other families, form a support network, and share your parenting experiences with other families in the Pattonville community. 

Family Feedback

A father, mother and two children play in a classroom

“It’s always beneficial talking to other parents here as well as seeing what other kids are doing and getting ideas from other people. Stella was our first (child) and of everybody we talked to — family, medical professionals, all of that — Krysteen (Euson, parent educator) was the one that made us feel the most confident, like we were doing things the right way or whatever our daughter needed. I feel like the early childhood development stuff is what really gave us that knowledge that this is normal. It's amazing. We've told everybody we know who has kids to do Parents as Teachers because I think it’s beneficial in so many ways. Stella always had to warm up to people and it felt like she warmed up to Krysteen quicker because of Krysteen's approach. Krysteen learns what type of kid you are and approaches you in the manner that makes sense. Krysteen’s the best; we love her! I have only positive things to say about Parents as Teachers and PICL has been great.”
