At Parents As Teachers, we celebrate Juneteenth as a day to honor the strength, perseverance, and hope of Black families throughout history. It is a day to reflect on how far we've come while recognizing that there is still work to be done to ensure true equity and justice for all children and families.

Freedom and family are inextricably linked. On Juneteenth, we recommit ourselves to empowering every parent, caregiver, and child through access to quality early childhood education, resources, and support. We strive to build a world where all families can nurture their children's curiosity, unlock their potential, and pave the way for the next generation to thrive.

Join us in celebrating the resilience of the human spirit and the unbreakable family bonds.

We spend most of our lives knowing our children as adults. We only know them as children for a short while.
Cherish every hug, say yes to the park, stop for the icecream when you can.
Because one day we’ll look back and it’ll all just be a memory.🫶🏻

Our staff members' vehicles typically look like this a couple days each month as we deliver diapers to our network of distribution banks. These bundles ensure children in Cambria and Somerset counties have a stable supply of snug diapers each day.

Help us maintain the stockpile by dropping diapers off at the Giant Eagles along Scalp Avenue in Richland and North Center Avenue in Somerset, from 4-6 p.m. Friday. Partial packages and wipes are welcome. Look for the CamTran bus in Richland and the J&J Truck Bodies & Trailers truck in Somerset.
