ChildStrive

A huge thank you to the team from UMC for volunteering earlier this month to get our campus ready for the start of the school year! The preschool students in our ECEAP Clever Sprouts preschool came back to a freshly tended campus for their first day of school.

Happy First Day of Fall! As the new season begins, it's a great time to get cozy, reconnect with loved ones, and reflect on what fills our cups.

Parents as Teachers offers free, in-home support for families experiencing stress or would like additional support. A trained Parent Educator partners with you to support your child’s growth and development, share parenting tips and tools, connect you with community resources, and help you feel confident every step of the way. The program is voluntary and available to families in Snohomish County experiencing difficult circumstances, with referrals welcome anytime before your child is 4, so families can get the support they need when they need it.

It's Diaper Need Awareness Week! Did you know that many families in the U.S. struggle to afford enough diapers?

"Nearly 1 in 2 U.S. families with young children experience diaper need, according to The NDBN Diaper Check 2026, meaning they cannot afford enough diapers to keep their baby clean, healthy, and dry. Diaper need affects the whole family, including a baby’s health, parent stress, finances, and overall family well-being.

Join us this National Diaper Need Awareness Week to help raise awareness. Share this post or learn how you can support ending diaper need at nationaldiaperbanknetwork.org ❤️" - The National Diaper Bank Network
