Earn While You Learn-Onsite Mommy Meetings
Daily Mommy Meetings:
The Treehouse offers in-person educational programs Monday-Thursday from 10:30 AM-11:30 AM. Free childcare is provided during class time for children between one and five years old. The Treehouse uses community partners to bring in educational, engaging and life changing information to our families, such as Eat Smart Move More (see attached budget). We are grateful for local collaborators, such as Wichita Area Sexual Assault Center, Wichita Family Crisis Center, K-State Research and Extension Office, Healthy Babies and Sedgwick County Health Department. These programs bring our moms the most up-to-date and relevant information to our classroom and The Treehouse provides incentives to mothers who can attend the classes in person - such as daycare expenses, gift cards for gas, Farmer’s Market Wooden Nickels for fresh produce, diapers, wipes, and baby formula.
Earn While You Learn-Online
This evidence-based program helps The Treehouse engage women beyond our walls. Topics such as prenatal care, parenting, relationships, and life skills help support women specific to their needs. Treehouse moms hand pick a weekly lesson from the online library that holds 200+ topics, with courses available in English and in Spanish. Each lesson contains a pre/post test, video, and homework assignments. Moms can complete a lesson weekly and earn incentives; such as diapers, wipes, Baby Bucks and formula.

The Treehouse Inc
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Executive Director
Karey Padding LMSW
My name is Karey Padding and I am the new Executive Director for The Treehouse. I started in early December 2021 and am so happy to be here! I grew up in a small town in North Central Kansas. Trust me, there were more cows than people! My dad worked on and retired from the railroad and my mom was a nurse. Because of growing up in a “helping household,” this likely contributed to me becoming a social worker. I graduated from Kansas State University with Dual Degrees in Social Work and Family Studies and Human Services in 2000. I then moved to the Kansas City area, worked for a year and then went back for my Master’s Degree in Social Work, graduating in 2002. In my 22 years of social work, I have had the opportunity to use my degrees in a variety of settings; such as Senior Living/Nursing Facilities/Hospice, Domestic Violence/Crisis Advocacy, Hospital/Medical Case Management, Health Care Leadership and Managed Care. I am married and a mom to four children. My oldest son, now age 11, was
