About Us
Ontario, Oregon’s Trauma-Informed Early Childhood Center
Since 2008, Treasure Valley Children’s Relief Nursery has supported families in Malheur County through therapeutic early learning and coordinated, trauma-informed care. As part of Oregon’s statewide Relief Nursery network, we work to keep children safe, strengthen families, and build the foundations for long-term well-being.
Our Story & Mission
Serving families with compassion since 2008
What makes Treasure Valley Children’s Relief Nursery different is our therapeutic, two-generation approach. We provide therapeutic classrooms for children experiencing stress or trauma, alongside home-based family education, parent support, and coordinated family services.
By addressing social-emotional development, resilience, and family stability together, we support the whole family—not just the child. Our approach helps reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and build the foundation for long-term well-being.
At Treasure Valley Children’s Relief Nursery, we believe families are strongest when they feel supported. Through consistent, compassionate care, we help children heal, grow, and thrive while equipping parents and caregivers with the tools and confidence for the journey ahead.
Who We Serve
Families across Malheur County and the Treasure Valley
We serve families with young children experiencing stress or life challenges. Our services are free, voluntary, and designed to strengthen relationships, build stability, and support healthy child development.
Children ages six weeks to five years
Our services support infants, toddlers, and preschoolers during the most critical years of brain development. Early trauma-informed care helps children build strong social-emotional skills, develop healthy relationships, and prepare for kindergarten and beyond.
Families Experiencing Financial or Housing Instability
Many families in Ontario and surrounding communities face challenges related to income and housing. We provide consistent, supportive care and family education that help build routines, reduce stress, and support long-term stability.
Families Navigating Stressful Life Transitions
Families experiencing significant life changes or challenges benefit from additional support. Through family education, outreach, and resource connection, we help strengthen parent-child relationships and support resilience and stability.
Families Needing Additional Stability and Support
Some families benefit from extra support to create safe, stable environments for their children. Our services help strengthen relationships, build routines, and support children’s social-emotional development during times of uncertainty or transition.
Families Needing Immediate Support
When families feel overwhelmed, we offer timely support and connection to help reduce stress and restore stability. Our outreach services provide guidance, resources, and short-term support to help families navigate difficult moments and move toward long-term well-being.
