St. Charles, MO-
1st Financial Federal Credit Union continues its Educational Seminar Series by partnering with the Missouri Parents as Teachers program, bringing parents and educators together.
Parents As Teachers believe that parents are a childs strongest influence in early education.� Each decision a parent makes during development plays a big part in shaping that childs life.� Taking an active role in early childhood education often feels like a daunting experience.� Ignoring this responsibility however means that when school starts the child is already playing catch-up.� Starting an early educational plan breeds success and creates a foundation for future academic growth.
