Philly-MontCo Family Center

Who we are:

Philly-MontCo Family Center is a Blue-Ribbon Parents as Teachers affiliate. We have a TEAM of certified Coaches that work with families one-on-one using the Parents as Teachers program.

Parents as Teachers is an evidence-based home visiting program focusing on early childhood education that supports families with young children, from prenatal through kindergarten, by providing parents with information, resources, and support to promote healthy development and school readiness.

We achieve this through:

Personal Visits: a trained certified Coach will visit with a family to provide individualized support, guidance, and education on child development and parenting skills.
Development Screenings: coaches will conduct regular screenings to identify and address potential developmental delays or other health concerns.
Resources Connections: coaches will provide families with information and connections to a network of community resources that can support their needs.
Group Connections: parents in the program will participate in group sessions, creating opportunities for social connections, interactions, learning, and support within a community of peers.

The Benefits:

Parents gain confidence in their ability to support their child's development.
Children develop better adaptive behavior, self-control, and mental health.
Families access valuable resources and support to address their specific needs.

Who is Eligible:

This program is free to all parents with children from Prenatal to Kindergarten age.

TCPI Power Packs

As the only professional nursing organization involved in the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) we were part of a collective of 10 professional associations charged to assist over 140,000 clinicians in improving how care is delivered by providing technical assistance support for integrating quality and process improvements, and by building on and spreading existing change methodologies, practice transformation tools, published literature, and technical assistance programs.

In collaboration with other SANs we developed a number of Power Packs to spread the transformational work undertaken by clinicians and practices nationally.

Each Power Pack presents a specific service delivery challenge and the steps taken by the spotlighted practice to address the challenge. Power Packs provide a set of change tactics and resources from the SANs and other professional associations that clinicians can use to address a similar challenge within their own practices.
