ChildStrive

For the past 50 years, ChildStrive (formerly Little Red School House) has helped thousands of families imagine a different future for their children, by providing critically important family-centered programs. In each of our programs, ChildStrive families work one-on-one with a professionally trained home visitor who help identify learning opportunities in daily family routines such as bath time, mealtime, or during play; provide essential early childhood development information; and help set goals for the child and their family.

Early Intervention

Early Intervention services are available to families with children who have a developmental delay or disability. ChildStrive special educators, speech, occupational, or physical therapists and counselors provide therapies to children age birth to three in their home or daycare.
