Nurturing Families are programs within Alta Vista ILS, a non-profit therapeutic and educational support agency. Our Nurturing Families programs provide inclusive educational enhancement and integrated life skills for clients and families. We are committed and highly effective in serving gifted, low-income, and special needs youth living in the Puget Sound. In addition to quality individualized educational and adaptive life skills enrichment, Nurturing Families is also dedicated to personal development. We aim to help develop responsibility in the transition from early childhood to youth to adulthood. We offer life skills and social skills groups, to help clients move towards personalized goals. We offer counseling and life skills training for youth and their family systems. Students may come to Nurturing Families  needing socialization opportunities, extra educational support, dropped out of public school due to COVID virtual-only restrictions or for other issues, exhausted respite or daycare options, or may be experiencing behavioral challenges and special needs. With the correct positive environment and support, these students will improve their educational engagement and independent functioning.  Youth who are slipping through the cracks have consistently made significant leaps and bounds with Alta Vista ILS and Nurturing Families.
