Tara's Story

“Parents as Teachers gave me the knowledge I needed to be a woman and mother,” Whitaker declared during a group connection sponsored by Parents as Teachers’ Show Me Strong Families (SMSF) program. “I enrolled and stayed in the program for two years, graduated high school with a welding certificate and enrolled in cosmetology school with perfect attendance. Parents as Teachers set me on the course to do all of that and I am eternally grateful to them.”
