This holiday season we are we’re raising funds to expand access to life-changing services for our youngest islanders, including pediatric therapies, developmental support, and family-focused care.

Our Tiny Steps, Big Impact campaign goal is to raise the $150,000 needed to ensure that every infant or toddler on Whidbey Island, in Anacortes, or on the San Juan Islands with developmental delays and their families have the support and resources they need to learn, grow, and thrive in 2025.

Your donation is tax-deductible and will directly support our programs. Please give generously and help us reach our goal. Thank you!
