Big news for Texas and Parents as Teachers!

We're excited that Parents as Teachers will be represented at the House Ways and Means Work & Welfare Subcommittee hearing on June 25th at 1pm Central, "The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program: Early Support, Lifelong Impact."

Even more exciting, Texas will be represented by our own Shawn Longoria, Director of Parents as Teachers at Community Healthcore in Longview, Texas!

Since 2012, Community Healthcore's Parents as Teachers program has been helping families build strong foundations for healthy child development, school readiness, and lifelong success. Shawn's participation highlights the incredible impact home visiting programs have on children, parents, and communities across our state.

We are proud to see Texas leadership and the Parents as Teachers model recognized as part of this important national conversation about strengthening families through early support.

Congratulations, Shawn Longoria, and thank you for representing Texas families on the national stage!
