Home visits are a time to

  • focus on your pregnancy, newborn, or toddler
  • learn about your child’s development
  • view educational videos and resource materials
  • ask a certified Parents As TeachersTM parent educator questions about parenting
  • learn about community resources and opportunities to connect with other families

What is Parents As TeachersTM?

What is the Teen and Young Parent Program?

The Teen and Young Parent Program offers several services especially for teen and young parents.

What are family services?

Our family services include assistance in locating transportation, housing, childcare, or connecting with other community resources. We also provide access to donated children’s clothing and baby equipment, and offer playgroups where enrolled families and their children can participate in family activities and workshops.

These programs are voluntary and no fee is charged to participants. Contact us at (207) 594-1980 or toll free 877-972-5804 (in Maine) for more information.
