The first “Let’s Read Together” event was a wonderful success!

Families gathered during the Latino Expo on Saturday, July 25, to celebrate the joy of reading with local authors, storytellers, music, crafts, and, of course, books. It was inspiring to see children, parents, and grandparents sharing stories and creating new memories together.

Thank you to our incredible partners, My Neighborhood News Network, Latino Educational Training Institute - LETI, Edmonds Bookshop, Edmonds College, and everyone who joined us to make this inaugural event so special.

A big thank you to everyone who joined and celebrated the importance of reading together!

At ChildStrive, we know that supporting young children also means supporting the adults who care for them. That's why we're excited to share a new free resource for our families and community.

In partnership with Coastal Community Bank and Banzai, we've launched the ChildStrive Financial Wellness Hub, an easy-to-use online library filled with practical tools, interactive calculators, articles, and guided lessons on the financial topics that matter most.

Every child develops in their own way, and early support can make a meaningful difference. 💛 ChildStrive’s Early Supports program partners with families of infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities, helping children build skills through play, everyday routines, and meaningful relationships.

Our specialists work alongside parents and caregivers to build on each child’s strengths, celebrate progress, and support development from the very beginning.

At ChildStrive, we look at the whole child and the whole family. 💛 Our neurodevelopmental approach recognizes that early experiences, relationships, and a child’s environment all play an important role in development.

By bringing together knowledge from child development, neuroscience, and family support, we help families understand their child’s unique needs and build on their strengths. Our goal is to create supportive, responsive environments where children can grow, connect, and thrive.
