Wooden Fish Parents First is a certified Parents as Teachers affiliate program.
We partner with parents during the early years — from pregnancy through early childhood — to help children grow, learn, and thrive at home and in school.

​

Every enrolled family receives four types of support:

​

1. Personal Visits (Your Family Coach)

A trained Parent Educator meets with your family regularly — in your home, virtually, or wherever you feel most comfortable. These visits are relaxed and child-focused, not clinical or judgmental.

​

Together we:​

• Learn what your child is working on developmentally

• Practice simple play-based learning activities

• Talk through sleep, behavior, routines, and transitions

• Support school readiness and confidence

• Help you understand why your child does what they do

• Answer real-life parenting questions

​

You’ll leave each visit with ideas you can use the same day.

​

2. Child Development & Health Screenings

As children grow, we check progress to make sure development stays on track.

​

We provide periodic screenings that look at:​

• Communication & language

• Movement & coordination

• Problem solving

• Social-emotional development

• Vision and hearing (when appropriate)

​

If support is needed, we help you navigate next steps — you are never left figuring it out alone.

Early support = easier support.

​

3. Parent Gatherings & Community

Parenting shouldn’t happen in isolation.

​

We host group connections where families can:

• Meet other parents in the same stage

• Share experiences and questions

• Learn new parenting strategies

• Let children play and socialize

​​

These are welcoming spaces — no pressure, no perfect parenting required.

​

4. Family Support & Resources

We help families connect to services when they need them.

​

This may include:

​

• Preschool & kindergarten readiness resources

• Early intervention services

• Health and wellness supports

• Housing, food, or family assistance programs

• Community activities for children

​

Think of us as your guide — not just a referral list.
