"Title work is a major part of the real estate industry. Nearly every real estate transaction that changes hands or is refinanced is in need of this service. Title work begins with a title search; an extensive search on a property to see if there are any existing liens on, or claims to, that property. Once the title has been deemed legitimate a title insurance policy is then issued in order to protect the lender and/or homeowner against any disputes that may arise over the title. Here at National Title & Escrow we understand how important it is to protect your investment and are committed to providing the highest levels of accuracy in all that we do"
"We also provide escrow and closing services to further assist our customers with their real estate transactions. An escrow agent is a neutral third party that holds documents and funds in a real estate transfer and makes sure that all contract conditions are met. Here at National Title & Escrow we want to make sure that your closing experience is as smooth as possible and we will conduct business professionally and confidentially on your behalf."
"You can rest assured that no matter how we are serving you or where your deals happen you can count on a name you trust and a creed you know: "Promises kept...deadlines met".

Our Vision
All children will learn, grow and develop to realize their full potential.
Our Mission
To provide the information, support and encouragement parents need to help their children develop optimally during the crucial early years of life.
Our Values
The early years of a child's life are critical for optimal development and provide the foundation for success in school and in life.
Parents are their children's first and most influential teachers.
Established and emerging research should be the foundation of parent education and family support curricula, training, materials and services.
All young children and their families deserve the same opportunities to succeed, regardless of any demographic, geographic or economic considerations.
An understanding and appreciation of the history and traditions of diverse cultures is essential in serving families.
History
In 1981, Missouri pioneered the concept of helping parents embrace their important role as their child's first and best teacher. Today, Parents as Teachers continues to equip early childhood organizations and professionals with information and tools that are relevantᾢand widely applicableᾢto today's parents, families and children.
The Parents as Teachers leadership team and Board of Directors is engaged in a three-year strategic plan, which positions the organization as a valued partner to support the organizations and professionals who serve families and children, especially those most vulnerable.
The concept for Parents as Teachers was developed in the 1970s when Missouri educators noted that children were beginning kindergarten with varying levels of school readiness. Research showed that greater parent involvement is a critical link in the child's development of learning skills, including reading and writing.
Early childhood professionals suggested that a program to provide early detection of developmental delays and health issues, and parent education to help parents understand their role in encouraging their child's development from the beginning could help improve school readiness and parent involvement.
With funding from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and The Danforth Foundation, Parents as Teachers began in 1981 in Missouri as a pilot project for first-time parents of newborns. Recognizing the program's benefits and cost effectiveness, the Missouri legislature provided state funding in 1985 to implement Parents as Teachers programs in all Missouri school districts. Since 1985, Parents as Teachers has expanded to all 50 states and six other countries.
