🌱 Holton Supports Families from the Very Beginning 🌱
Holton USD 336 is proud to offer Parents as Teachers, a free, home-based program for families with children prenatal through preschool, alongside our already robust early childhood options, including infant–toddler daycare and preschool.
Parents as Teachers brings learning directly to your home. A trained parent educator visits monthly to support you as your child’s first teacher, offering hands-on activities, developmental screenings, and personalized guidance based on your child’s needs.
💬 What parents are saying:
“Having someone come into our home and show us simple ways to support our child made a huge difference. The activities were fun, practical, and helped us feel more confident as parents.”
This program is:
✔ Completely free
✔ Available to families living in the Holton school district
✔ Designed for prenatal through preschool-aged children
✔ Focused on early growth, confidence, and connection

The fire alarm just sounded here at the high school. One of the Food Lab kitchens got a little smokey and it triggered the fire alarm. Students quickly evacuated the building but are now safely back in class.
