Center for Families
Building Blocks for a Brighter Tomorrow
The Center for Families provides high quality childcare that allows our students to complete their education and is a home for partnerships that strengthen parents' roles in their children's education and development.
The Center for Families:
- Serves hundreds of children in childcare, from infants to five-year-olds, giving them a great start while their parents get the education they need to continue to provide for their families.
- Serves as a training facility to model best practices in childcare and parenting to help expand excellent childcare throughout the region.
- Educates students who are learning to become early childhood educators, including Head Start teachers, or who want to work as family support specialists
- Offers parent education classes, oversees parent cooperative preschools, teaches low-income parents basic and career skills and runs a teen parent program.
- Provides advanced workshops and seminars to childcare providers and other early childhood education professionals.
- Manages the "Art for Kids" project that loans pieces of art to early childhood education programs throughout Snohomish County. The collection currently includes 45 different pieces.
