Parents As Teachers (PAT) Program
PAT is an early childhood parent education and support program. This program is a voluntary program offered through the Petal School District for families residing in Petal with children aged birth to 5 years old. In the first few years, children learn more and at a faster pace than at any other time in life. You as a parent or guardian help shape your child's growth through the experiences you provide for them.
