Classes and Community

Our commitment to the well-being of children goes beyond our walls. We connect with kids, their families and their communities by advocating for child health, offering classes on topics such as potty training and babysitting, and providing low-cost safety and injury-prevention gear.

  • Seattle Children's dynamic duo strive to stop drowning deaths through research, outreach and advocacy.

  • Toddlers are a curious bunch and can easily reach medications or cleaning products lying around the house. Help prevent poisonings in your home.

  • Today, 15% of kids in the U.S. are overweight — and face health problems usually only seen in adults. We’re working to stop this dangerous trend.
