Child & Family Services
Addressing the needs of children in our community.
We provide programs for children and youth that incorporate social change and community activism into the curriculum. Programs include center-based bilingual early learning childcare, home visiting programs for children birth to age 3, after school mentoring and tutoring, and workshops for parents. We work with Seattle Public Schools to ensure children in our programs are ready for kindergarten and provide an after school program for elementary-age children.
