National Parents as Teachers Day
These affiliates give all parents of young children support, and it also provides information so all children learn, grow and develop to realize their full potential.

National Parents as Teachers Day on November 8th encourages Parent Teachers Organizations and parents to join forces to support children in their educational goals.
Parents as Teachers Organizations offer educational services to parents across the country. These affiliates give all parents of young children support, and it also provides information so all children learn, grow and develop to realize their full potential.
The concept for Parents as Teachers developed in the 1970s in Missouri. There, educators noted that children were beginning kindergarten with varying levels of school readiness. Research showed that greater parent involvement is a critical link in the child’s development of learning skills, including reading and writing.
The day provides tools, resources, and support to parents to better guide them and their children.
