Parents As Teachers

The Parents As Teachers (PAT) program is for families that have children 0-5 years old. The goal of the PAT program is to support parents as their child’s first and best teacher. Our Parent Educators visit the families in their homes twice a month until the child is 5 years old. Learn More>

BabyNet

BabyNet offers developmental screenings and evaluations for children age 0-3 in South Carolina. There is no cost to the family to get Early Intervention if the caregivers have any suspicion or concern of Developmental Delay. Income is not a factor. BabyNet is a voluntary program, and is funded from Part C of Idea. Learn More>
