A Step Ahead in Pierce County

ASAPC provides Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) for children ages birth to three who have one or more developmental delays and provides support to their families. Family-centered services are provided by our experienced pediatric therapists, special educators, and family resource coordinators. Services are provided at the home or childcare and focus on improving the child's functioning in his/her daily routines. Special attention is given to supporting the parent/child relationship. A Step Ahead also supports young children in foster care through Infant Mental Health services, advocacy and education. We assist foster parents in addressing the challenges often faced while raising a child who has experienced abuse, neglect, and an abrupt disruption in their attachments. We care for our employees as well as we care for our clients. Our business culture is one of respect, support, and nurturing professional growth. We provide a flexible work environment which works well for young professionals juggling both work and family life. We have been finalists in Top Places to Work in the South Sound twice in the past 4 years.
