Parents as Teachers (formerly Healthy and Fair Start)

Many milestones happen during a child’s first five years of life: first tooth, first steps, first words, first day of school. These are important years that shape a child’s future.

Any Baby Can empowers parents to better understand and connect with their kids. Visits with a Certified Parent Educator encourage bonding and attachment, prepare kids for school, and connect families to resources in the community and to each other.

Did you know?

According to the National Survey of Children’s Health, in 2021–22, about 40%--two in five--children have had an adverse childhood experience (ACE). As early as 18 months, low-income children begin to fall behind in vocabulary development and other skills that are important for school success.

Early intervention is critical in brain development to address concerns and lessen the effects of adverse experiences.

"Any Baby Can’s programs have helped me gain the knowledge that I’ve been looking for. I appreciate having someone come to my house and speak with me about anything and everything."

Nurse-Family Partnership client

"We weren’t meant to do this parenting thing alone. My parent educator provides insight and someone to bounce ideas off of. She gives me reassurance and validation. She helps me stay on track."

Parents as Teachers client

"If there ever was a handbook on parenting, this class would be it. I have 7 children from ages 7 to 27. So imagine how shocked I was when I realized how much I didn't know about raising kids! I strongly recommend these classes."
