The Parent-Child Home Program is a winner for early learners in Seattle and beyond. At United Way of King County we’ve always thought that, so that’s where we put a lot of our efforts.

When parents are their children’s best teachers, kids benefit when they start school and the benefits keep rolling on to adulthood. And that is exactly what the Parent-Child Home Program does for struggling, low-income families. It teaches parents how to be good teachers to their kids.

That’s why we are so excited to see the latest article in the Seattle Times touting the long-term benefits that the Parent-Child Home Program has for its participants. It spells out how it helps close the education gap for low income families.
