Early Support

South Sound Parent to Parent is the Providing Agency for Early Support for Infants and Toddlers in Thurston, South Mason and Grays Harbor Counties (with the exception of the Olympia School District area). We offer a variety of professional services tailored to the individual needs of your family, including Family Resources Coordination and Direct Services for children, ages Birth to Three. Taking action early gives your child a chance to receive the appropriate therapy, giving him or her the best chance for positive outcomes in the future. The first three years of life are the most crucial period for a child's growth and development.

"They didn't hold back at all from providing services when COVID-19 hit. My provider uses FaceTime & Zooming us weekly within the first couple weeks after SSP2P stopped doing in home visits."

Early Support is a system of services that helps children from birth to three with developmental delays or disabilities. Services may also be provided to address the needs and priorities of the child’s family. Family-oriented services are meant to help family members understand the needs of their child and how to enhance their development.

Our Mission

PARENT/TODDLER PLAY GROUP

For the time being, we are going back to in-person services at our Olympia location. Our Parent/Toddler play groups are staffed by Early Childhood Specialists who know the community well and offer information and support to parents as they navigate the early years and the often- daunting job of raising a young child.

Through play, transitions, circle time songs and activities, as well as informal conversations, parents learn about developmental ages and stages, gain information to help understand their child’s behavior and become empowered to prepare the family and child to enter school ‘ready to learn’.

This program is based on service(s) through our Early Support team's recommendations. This program is every Monday from 10:00 to 11:00 AM and Friday 10:00 to 11:00 AM and again at 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM!
