Little Red School house was founded by parents and the South Snohomish County Exchange Club in 1963. Our success stems from a foundational belief in family empowerment and a strength-based intervention model that maximizes each child's abilities so that they can succeed in school and in life. Little Red's highly qualified Occupational and Physical Therapists, Speech and Language Pathologists, Special Educators, and Counselors create customized family service plans that ensure each family member is an equal member of the early intervention team. We use a hands-on coaching model. Our staff support and empower parents, enhancing their capacity to meet the special needs of their infants and toddlers, in the child's natural learning environments – at home, at their child care center, or in other community settings.
