In October, Moe Masoe, ASPIRC's program manager & certified parents educator started his personal visits with approximately 30 parents enrolled in this Early Childhood Parent Education program. Parents were selected by ASPIRC's school and church-based parent center and coordinators at 5 locations; Failolo, Pavaiai, Tafuna, Matafao, and Alofau, based on their interest and participation in other ASPIRC activities. Only parents of children ages 0-5yrs can participate in the PAT program. The current group will participate in 1) personal visits, 2) group meetings, 3) health & developmental screenings, 4) resource networking, for a period of 10 months. The main goal of the program is to train parents to be the most influential person in their child's early development, by ensuring that they receive positive experiences in the home.
