Our Family Programs

Kaleidoscope Play & Learn Groups

Children from birth to 5 years old and their caregiver are welcome to attend our playgroups, where we come together to play, sing, read, eat snacks and build community! Playgroups are led by a FamilyWorks staff member and are hosted in our beautiful playroom (although we like to go outside when the weather permits!).

We have English and Spanish (Kaleidoscope Play and Learn group) playgroups that are welcome to everyone. Participating in all playgroups is completely free!

By participating in playgroups, children learn social and developmental skills, caregivers and parents gain knowledge in child development and fun, age-appropriate activities, and we all get an opportunity to meet new people and build a supportive community network.

Anyone is free to drop-in to our playgroups!

Kaleidoscope Play & Learn Groups

Spanish Playgroup – Tuesdays, 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Parenting Classes & Workshops

We offer free parenting classes each year along with a variety of workshops related to child growth and development. The parenting classes and workshops are free to participants (except for a small fee if a parenting book is required, with scholarships available for those unable to pay for the book), and will take place at our Family Resource Center.

These classes require that all participants register before attending by calling our office (206) 647-1780.

Community & Empowerment Programs

Skill-Building, Field Trips, & Participant-Led Programs

Through partnerships with organizations throughout Seattle, we provide opportunities for families and individuals to build bonds and connections. Whether it be participant-led cooking classes, Up-Close encounters with Woodland Park Zoo animals, or a trip to the museum, these programs contribute to a strong, caring community. Please keep a lookout on our monthly newsletter to register for field trips, workshops, and other upcoming events. Drop by the Resource Center or call us at (206) 647-1780 to find out what programs we’re offering now.

Diaper Bank

For our diaper program, you’ll be able to pick up a sleeve of diapers and a pack of baby wipes every 4 weeks from your pickup date. Here are some guidelines to the diaper program:
  • Every new year, a new “Welcome Form” and “concrete goods survey” must be filled out, which takes 5-10 minutes to complete. It must be filled out for you to receive diapers and be enrolled in the diaper program.
  • New families can enroll on a space available basis.
  • You may only receive diapers/pull-ups from one FamilyWorks location (Wallingford Food Bank, Family Resource Center, Nathan Hale Satellite Resource Center, or Home Delivery program)
  • From the 8th month of pregnancy until the child’s 4th birthday, you may receive diapers/pull-ups. After their 4th birthday, children are no longer eligible for the diaper program.
  • For resources on other diaper banks, please talk to our Community Connectors

Community Closet - Kids' Essentials

The Community Closet offers participants FREE items, such as children’s clothing, toys, and books. You can stop by during our drop-in hours to shop for items for 15 minutes, once a month at our Family Resource Center. If you are unable to make it to our drop-in hours, please reach out to us to schedule an appointment.
