Encompass was born from a\u202fpersonal and\u202floving act of advocacy. In 1966, a small group of local parents refused to let their children with special needs be left behind.\u202fTogether, they created a place to belong and a legacy.\u202fFor 60 years, that same relentless spirit has fueled our\u202fpurpose\u202facross the Snoqualmie Valley and\u202fsurrounding areas\u202f-to\u202fimprove the well-being of children by partnering with families and the community. What began as a handful of parents raising their voices has blossomed into a vital lifeline of early learning, pediatric therapy, and\u202fearly support. As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we honor the courage of our founders, the resilience of our families, and\u202fthose\u202fwho\u202fstand with us to ensure\u202fa community where\u202fALL\u202fchildren thrive.<\/p>\n

Throughout this milestone year, we invite you to journey with us through 60 years of service. Together, we\u202fwill shine\u202fa light on the deeply moving stories of impact from families whose children have\u202fthrived through our early learning and pediatric therapy services.\u202fWe honor how or community\u2019s changing needs have shaped us, how the tireless dedication of our staff and volunteers has propelled us forward, and how the unmatched generosity of the Snoqualmie Valley has allowed us to grow side-by-side with the community we love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
