CDSA dba Launch
Drawing on 47 years of experience, we serve as a proven model of effective programming and a passionate advocate for children, families, and communities – particularly those furthest from educational justice.

We are a Seattle-based nonprofit founded in 1977 that provides effective, affordable early learning, before- & after-school enrichment, early preschool, and summer expanded learning opportunity programs for more than 800 children ages 2-12 annually — foundational years when our social-emotional and academic support help launch young lives on a trajectory of success.

OUR MISSION

Lead the charge to brilliant outcomes for the children of our community by ensuring equitable access to the highest-quality learning and care.
