THE PILLARS OF OUR WORK 

SUPPORTING OWNERS

We offer professional development opportunities for childcare providers to enhance their skills and knowledge. Our educational enrichment programs focus on holistic learning experiences to support children's growth and development.

DCYF PARTNERSHIP

We facilitate community networking events to encourage collaboration and resource sharing among childcare centers. Our goal is to create a supportive network that benefits both childcare providers and the families they serve.

BIPARTISAN COMMITMENT 

We are a proudly bipartisan organization dedicated to advocating for the well-being of all children. By fostering collaboration across political boundaries, we aim to improve childcare systems and shape a better future for every young Washingtonian.

LEGISLATION

Our advocacy initiatives aim to raise awareness about the importance of early childhood education and the valuable role of childcare centers. We work to advocate for policies that support the needs of children and childcare providers.
