play

04/29/24 • 34 min

Serving children and families from birth to age 3, Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) is the Washington State program designed to be the first point of contact for families concerned about their child’s development. Whether it’s speech, motor, feeding, sleep, behavioral, social, or other developmental concerns, our ESIT team employs a collaborative caregiver-coaching model to support families in helping their children reach milestones. In this month’s Parent Talks podcast, we sit down with ESIT Director Jessie Scanzon and Family Resource Coordinator Brooke Boevers to take a deep dive into understanding the ins and outs of the ESIT program and how it partners with families to build healthy foundations for children. All children under 3 are entitled to a free developmental screening at no cost to the family. If you have questions about your child’s development, reach out to the Encompass ESIT team at 425-888-3347. If you are outside the Encompass service area of the Issaquah, Riverview, Skykomish, or Snoqualmie Valley School Districts, contact the Washington State ESIT program at (800) 322-2588. Don’t struggle. Call.

Encompass Parent Talks - Establishing Beloved Community at Home
play

01/05/23 • 43 min

We hear a lot of talk about Company Culture – beliefs and values that define an organization. Over the years, Encompass has spent many hours working with James and Kristen Whitfield of BeCulture - talking about our own company culture, the idea of Beloved Community, and the concept of ‘being the culture we wish to see.’ It got us asking - can we take these same ideas and apply them in our homes? James and Kristen say yes. In this special edition of our Parent Talks podcast, Encompass Executive Director Nela Cumming sat down with James, Kristen, and their daughter Kat, to discuss what it looks like to establish Culture and Beloved Community at home including the concept of intentionality right from the beginning and the importance of modeling.

As kids get settled into a new school year, it’s not uncommon for some parents to notice their child is struggling in the classroom.
