Parent Child Plus offers an in-home, one-on-one teaching model matching toddlers and parents with home visitors, usually of the same cultural background and language.
Parent Child Plus is offered locally by many nonprofit organizations, including some that are funded by and partner with United Way.
Parent Child Plus at United Way is sustained by a dedicated village of passionate supporters.
That support includes multi-year investments from funders like the Seattle-based Stolte Family Foundation.
which partners with organizations that are advancing solutions in education, climate, and civic engagement.
The Stolte Family Foundation's investment in United Way and Parent-Child Plus has enabled United Way to access public funds and bring funders together to invest in maternal wellness and early learning.
By strengthening parent-child relationships, Parent-Child Plus has a long-term impact on education outcomes and economic stability in our region.
The Stolte Family Foundation was established in 2015 by Heidi Stolte, a former elementary school teacher and community volunteer, and Chris Stolte, co-founder of Tableau Software.
The foundation's education work helps close opportunity gaps by engaging families and communities in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties.
The Stolte Family Foundation invests in organizations that bring learning opportunities into families' homes, support family engagement in their children's learning, and prevents disparities in education.
