Childhaven's Centennial
Childhaven was founded in 1909 as the Seattle Day Nursery and, for almost 100 years, the care of children has
been a singular focus. In the mid-1970's, after having operated as a traditional child care center for decades,
the agency leadership recognized a grave need: a lack of services for very young victims of abuse and neglect.
In 1977 - two years before the state of Washington mandated the reporting of child abuse - we initiated the
nation's first therapeutically-based child care program for these vulnerable children. Supported by research
that shows brain development is at its most critical between birth and five years of age, our work has met with
resounding success.
Please help us celebrate 100 years - and share the story of our success with others.
More information regarding Centennial events will be available this fall.
