About Us

Northwest's Child was founded and established in 1990 for the specific purpose of serving the out of school care needs of school aged children, youth, and young adults with special needs and disabilities.
Northwest's Child is a non-profit, private program dedicated to the mission of serving not only the day to day primary needs of each student, but also the educational, social, and vocational needs of that student as well. We work closely with each student's school program and work off of the same IEP goals and objectives to provide the most consistant programming possible.
Our teaching staff is experienced and well trainedto work with a wide variety of needs, and our assistant staff are also well experienced and work along side the head staff. We incorporate high school volunteers to work with and interact with our students as natural peers.
Northwest's Child runs 12 months out of the year, adjusting to the school day and/or out of school time Monday through Friday. We are contracted with both Childcare subsidies programs as well as Division of Development Disabilities, Department of Health's Homecare (MPC), and Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. Northwest's Child does not discriminate against families, children, or anyone else based on race, sexual preference, religion, color, ethnic background, or handicapping conditions.
Northwest's Child Incorporated is dedicated to two people who nurtured my acceptance and tolerance for others, encouraged my compassion, supported my vision of a program that truly serves the needs of our most vulnerable and deserving in our community, and taught me to use a combination of a good sense of humor and determination to succeed no matter what the obstacle...
