ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION

Founded in 1963, ChildStrive is a growing non-profit agency serving children and families in Snohomish and north King Counties.  We are pioneers and respected leaders in providing family centered parenting support and early intervention services to pregnant women and young children birth through 3 years old.

ChildStrive partners with families to support young children’s success in daily life and in the community.

Vision

 ChildStrive is an inclusive and affirming community where ALL children and families have the opportunity to thrive.  Mission

ChildStrive builds on the relationships, strengths, and unique abilities of young children and their families by fostering social, emotional, and physical well-being so all children can flourish.

We serve our community through four programs:

Early Support for Infants and Toddlers serves families with children birth to three years of age who have a developmental delay or identified disability;

Nurse Family Partnership serves first time pregnant women through pregnancy and until their child turns two years of age;

Parents as Teachers serves families who are pregnant or have a young child who are living with trauma or chronic hardships, including housing instability or poverty.

Community Outreach serves families with preschoolers who are homeless and living in shelters or who are isolated and lack support.  The Outreach program also partners with the Tulalip Tribes and provides consultation services to childcare providers serving families in transitional housing.

ECEAP (Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program) is a high quality preschool and family development program for underserved families in partnership with Snohomish County and the State of Washington.

At ChildStrive our workplace is a direct reflection of our work with the families we serve. We ask our families about their hopes and dreams and we recognize that the hopes and dreams of our staff extend beyond their work life. 

We build family capacity through strength based coaching, reflection, and information sharing.   Whether you are a seasoned professional or a recent graduate, we systematically support our staff to reach their full potential.  You’ll work alongside talented professionals and have built-in opportunities for continuing education, reflective supervision, pursuing your passions and sharing your knowledge.

We collaborate with families and our community partners in meaningful, effective ways; relationships are at the core of our work.  You’ll find a trusted “home” on your transdisciplinary work team and experience the results of deep, authentic collaboration across the agency.

We continually adapt and improve to best meet our families’ needs, and maintain accountability in the process.  Whether working with a challenging family, or improving agency wide effectiveness, you’ll roll up your sleeves to solve problems and have the freedom to implement solutions.  Our “intent based leadership” philosophy means that every employee takes responsibility for ChildStrive’s success and how we accomplish our mission.
