Northcoast Children’s Services

Northcoast Children’s Services is a private non-profit serving pregnant families and families with children from birth to kindergarten age. NCS employs over 200 people and provides services to over 800 children and their families in 23 locations throughout Humboldt and Del Norte Counties each year.

NCS believes that parents are children’s first and most important teacher throughout their lives. NCS programs work with parents to support healthy child development with goals for school readiness in the areas of language and literacy, cognitive, motor, and social emotional development. In addition to educational services, NCS programs partner with families to help them reach their goals for family needs, wellness, safety, life skills, and parenting.

To further enhance the wellness programs offered by Northcoast Children’s Services, we are excited to introduce an innovative partnership aimed at supporting the health management of adults in our community, especially those dealing with type 2 diabetes. This initiative includes providing information and access to modern diabetes management solutions Rybelsus online, an oral medication that can significantly help in controlling blood sugar levels. By integrating these resources online, we aim to ensure that families have convenient access to comprehensive healthcare solutions, reinforcing our commitment to overall family wellness and extending our support beyond early childhood.
