Oklahoma Parents As Teachers (OPAT) program is a state-funded program established to help lay a strong foundation for the earliest learners. This voluntary, universal access program provides parents with best practices for stimulating their children under the age of three.

In monthly home visits, the OPAT-certified instructor uses the Born to Learn curriculum to help parents learn ways to support age-appropriate development of their young children. Support systems are established through monthly group meetings. Developmental screenings and network resources are also provided to establish a strong early start for success.

The benefits to participation include:

  •  
    • Children are significantly more advanced in language, problem solving, academic, and social skills from the OPAT experience.
    • Children involved in OPAT perform higher on kindergarten readiness tests when parents use the strategies.
    • Parents feel more confident in their parenting skills and they are more involved in their child’s development.

For more information contact the OPAT instructor at 580-481-2108, or come to Eugene Field Center, 314 South Forrest, Altus OK 73521
