Heroes at Home Program
Parents as Teachers understands the unique
lifestyle of Military Families.
We want to help you be your child’s first and
most important hero and teacher.
Army Child, Youth and School Services has
partnered with the National Center for Parents as Teachers. The
Parent as Teachers organization has created the Heroes At
Home program designed to help support Military Families with
young children.
Recently Fort Drum CYS Services personnel
along with two PAT educators traveled to PAT headquarters in St.
Louis, Missouri. They participated in an intense eight day
training receiving the information and resources needed to
implement the Heroes at Home program at Fort Drum.
