The Parents as Teachers program believes that parents are the first and most important teachers in their child’s life. A child’s first classroom is their home. To support parents in giving their child the best start possible, we provide services for families with children ages prenatal through kindergarten entry in the Jackson R2 School District. We are a FREE program open to any family in the school district.
Visits take place in the home or at East Elementary Early Childhood Center. Visits are typically 1 time per month for 60 minutes, but can vary depending on the needs of the child and family. If you have any questions, please call the Early Childhood office at (573) 243-5347.
If you would like to enroll in the Parents as Teachers program, please fill out this form and a Parent Educator will be in contact with you to set up the first visit.

Parents As Teachers Enrollment Form Please complete a separate enrollment form for EACH child ages 0-5.

Today, Mrs. Keely Martin reached a huge milestone! She has been a parent educator with our Parents as Teachers program for 25 years!
She has been through lots of changes with the program, but one thing remains the same: her love for the children!
Keely, we are so appreciative and thankful for your years of service with the Jackson R2 Parents as Teachers program!

It’s time to celebrate our Parents as Teachers home visitors! These ladies work tirelessly every week to visit homes in the JR-2 district. They provide education to parents on child development, act as a resource liaison within our community, and help prepare our littlest of learners with a leg up before they enter preschool or Kindergarten! We are so thankful for the care, compassion, and knowledge that they pour into our district. Front to back are Jennie Pehle, Cathlin Hayes, Jill Hadler, Kristi Macharia, Keely Martin, and Heidi Crowden.
