Life-changing therapies and interventions at Kindering

Since 1962, Kindering has been providing life-changing interventions and therapies for infants and young children with disabilities and their families. Located in the Crossroads neighborhood of Bellevue, Washington, Kindering is at the heart of the rapidly growing Greater Eastside of Seattle. The depth and scope of services provided at Kindering is unmatched. Our core – Early Intervention – helps 2,000 children with disabilities reach critical developmental milestones each year. Additionally, we offer specialized therapies for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, children in foster care, consultation for local childcare centers and other wrap-around programs support families, siblings and caregivers of disabled children. But undoubtedly, according to team members past and present, the best part about a career at Kindering is the people. Our leadership is committed to helping you build your skills through experience and professional development, and we work to foster an environment of growth and collaboration.

Kindering was founded by five mothers of children with disabilities, and has grown alongside the community we serve.
