The History of Little Red School House:
Little Red was founded in 1963 to address the needs of children with disabilities and we've seen literally hundreds of successes in that time. Our staff includes Early Childhood Educators, Occupational and Physical Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Family Counselors and support staff.

Little Red School House provides education and specialized therapy services to children with or at risk of developmental delays and disabilities, age birth to five, but particularly focusing on birth to three years of age.

We serve children with Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, vision and hearing impairments, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and numerous other diagnoses and developmental delays.

In our Early Intervention Program we work with children in a variety of settings, including: one of our education and therapy centers, their home, childcare setting or a combination. The children are evaluated and receive individualized family service plans which may include individual or group education, gross and fine motor therapy, speech and language services, hydrotherapy, and feeding therapy.

In our educational groups, we incorporate language and pre-reading skills, social/emotional, self-help and cognitive development. Our therapists work within these groups so that therapeutic activities are included as well.

In the last few years, our program has targeted children "at risk" for developmental delay as well. We begin by screening children in homeless shelters and transitional housing and also in childcare settings in an effort to identify children who are falling behind their peers. The objective of this program is to increase the likelihood that children will be successful in school by improving their readiness to learn.

Our program is licensed by the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Professional staff also maintains their licenses and certifications in their special fields. Little Red School House operates centers in Lynnwood and Everett, Washington and on the Tulalip reservation.
