Neighborhood House has been providing high-quality early learning programs for decades and was one of the first Head Start preschool providers in the pacific northwest. Today we offer a range of early learning opportunities for children and their families including home-based home visiting programs for expecting families and parents of children birth to 3 years old, toddler classrooms for 1-3 year olds, and preschool classrooms for 3-5 year olds. All of these programs have the goal of supporting children’s school readiness as their early experiences help to prepare them for kindergarten.
We know that in order for children to be kindergarten ready, they and their families need to be safe, well cared for, and healthy. For this reason, we support families to keep children up to date with preventative medical and dental visits and immunizations. We also provide health and developmental screenings at school as well as referrals for children who have concerns identified. Parents can also get help accessing health care and mental health care to support their own wellness.
Parents are invited to partner with teachers and home visitors to create meaningful learning goals for their children and to support children’s learning with individualized learning activities at home. We also offer parenting education, training on a wide range of topics, and opportunities for parents to connect with others in their communities. Parents may also be elected to our agency’s Board of Directors or Policy Council if they would like to grow their leadership skills and get more involved in decisions that shape our organization.
