It is a two-pronged approach consisting of a pre-natal to three years old portion – Greenwich Parents as Teachers (GPAT) – and the Pre-School Instructional Coaching (PSIC) prong for 4- and 5-year-olds. A high-quality, evidence-based program like GPAT makes it possible to overcome the achievement gap that students may begin their academics with.
