Ballard Center is a non-profit organization that provides high quality, affordable early education program and essential basic life assistance. The Ballard Center partners with individuals and families to achieve stability through early childhood education and needs-based services. Ensuring that all children, particularly those who come from low-income households, have access to an affordable high-quality early childhood education. We know that children learn better when they are not hungry, worrying about where they are going to stay, or if they are going to have a warm place to sleep. To this end, Ballard provides wrap-around support to families through our food pantry, clothing closets, emergency assistance programs, and other initiatives run through the Ballard Center.
