The Ringgold County Parents as Teachers program will host a party to celebrate receiving the Iowa Family Support Credential on Sunday, April 10, at 3:00 PM in the meeting room of the REC building at 1502 W. South Street, Mt. Ayr. The credential is awarded to family support and parent education programs that are found to be in substantial adherence to the Iowa Family Support Standards.
The Parents as Teachers program staff worked diligently for more than two years to meet all of the 138 standards. A peer review was conducted by trained peers from central Iowa to validate the program’s adherence to the standards. The Iowa Family Support Credential is valid for five years.
Refreshments will be served, and there will be activities and goodie bags for all who attend. Family pictures will also be taken by a local photographer. Bring the whole family and help us celebrate!
