Information for 2011 Fatherhood Grantees about Parents as Teachers

This curriculum was developed for Strengthening Families and Fatherhood: Children of Fathers in the Criminal Justice System under the Innovation and Improvement Project grant from the Office of Head Start, Administration for Children, Youth and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

I also discovered that this organization created partnerships with many governmental/educational systems that focus of the enhancement of child development.
