Canton Parents as Teachers (CPAT)🍎
CPAT is currently enrolling families for the 2026–2027 school year!
Canton Parents as Teachers is a parent-child program offering a variety of services for Canton residents with children from prenatal through kindergarten.
Our goal is to support parents and caregivers while recognizing that you know your child best. We are here to provide information, resources, and support—not to tell you how to parent.
1. Early Learning Groups
Our Early Learning Groups are a wonderful opportunity for you and your child to:
-Meet other children and parents in the community.
-Give your child opportunities to learn and play with other children.
-Connect with a certified parent educator.
-Learn more about your child's development.
-Experience art that you don't want to do at home.
-Get ideas and activities that can make everyday parenting a little easier.
-To have a positive early social experience.
As parent educators, we believe that you are the expert when it comes to your child. We can provide information about where your child is developmentally and offer suggestions and resources to support their growth.
Early Learning Groups are offered Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 10:00–11:00 a.m. at CIS. The fee is 100 dollars for the year or 50 dollars a session per family.
2. Developmental Screenings
Are you wondering if your child is developing on track? Do you have questions or concerns about your child's development?
CPAT offers developmental screenings to help you learn more about your child's development. If a concern is identified, we can help connect you with appropriate resources and explain possible next steps.
3. One-on-One Visits
One-on-one visits can take place in your home or in our classroom.
During these visits, we provide information to help you better understand your child's development and how their brain is growing and learning. We also offer fun, age-appropriate activities that you can do together to support your child's development.
We would love to have your family join us!
We are currently enrolling children in our Early Learning Groups!
