About Us
Wonderland Developmental Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and early intervention agency. Founded in
1969 by a group of dedicated parents and the Choshi Junior Women’s Club, we started by serving three children with
developmental disabilities. We now serve approximately 130 families and their children ages birth to three with special
needs per month in north King and south Snohomish counties.
Mission:
Wonderland’s mission is to empower families and their children with special needs to reach their full potential as they
live, learn, and play.
Primary Services
We help children meet healthy developmental milestones through:
 Comprehensive developmental evaluations
 Early intervention support in the child’s natural learning environment from a team of occupational and speech
therapists, special educators, mental health professionals, and family resources coordinators
 Play & Learn groups open to children of all abilities
 Therapeutic summer camps for children of all abilities ages 3-5
 Internationally acclaimed Hanen parenting program supporting early childhood communication development
 Family support opportunities: education, groups, resources, referrals, events, counseling, and activities
Wonderland Facts
 Wonderland was among the first birth-to-three centers to switch from a classroom and clinic-based model to
providing services in the natural learning environments (home, childcare, library, etc.), designed to support the
parent as the child’s most important teacher.
 In 2012, we served 323 children and 565 caregivers (unduplicated).
 To qualify for services, children must have a 25% or greater delay in one or more of the five developmental
skill areas: fine and gross motor, cognitive, social/emotional, receptive and expressive language, and adaptive
(feeding, dressing, self-care).
 Wonderland serves children with a variety of developmental delays and disabilities, such as: autism spectrum
disorder, Fragile X, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and general developmental delays.
 Wonderland’s services are available to any family, regardless of ability to pay.
Community Need:
 The number of children with special needs is increasing every year, and research shows that only one in five
children are receiving the services they need.
 Wonderland has increased its clients served by 24% and anticipates equal growth in 2013.
