Department of Early Learning (DEL)





Currently Bette Hyde, the Director of the Department of Early Learning 
(DEL), and Governor Christine Gregoire have asked us to partner with
them as they seek to ensure all young children are ready for school 
and for life. 

"Child care providers and early childhood educators play a very
important role in the lives of children. Research shows high-quality 
early learning opportunities are a key to ensuring children start school 
ready to succeed. The Department of Early Learning (DEL) works to 
support providers and educators with information and opportunities to 
build upon their knowledge and experience. (DEL)

SWWFCCA offers parents a great resource by providing a list of 
Licensed Child Care Providers who are also members of SWWFCCA. 
Many of those Providers not only offer warm, nurturing, and loving
environments for young children, they also offer early learning and
preschool opportunites.

Thrive by Five:






Thrive by Five is another partner whose focus is to "help ensure every
child has the chance to have positive early learning experiences, so 
that they are prepared to succeed in school and thrive in life." 
(DEL). 

Additionally, Thrive by Five "works to create the early learning supports, 
services and systems that Washington children and families need. Join 
us, and our many partners, because every child deserves a fair chance 
to succeed in school and thrive in life." (Thrive by Five). 

You can find Thrive by Five and SWWFCCA on Twitter.

Support for Early Learning Families (SELF):

SELF is a collaborative of supporting organizations that are like minded 
in the care and nurture of children. SELF is a network of resources to 
serve children's needs and is a clearinghouse and resource center for 
information.

SELF's vision statement of "creating a caring community where all 
young children thrive" is important so that children are ready to meet 
the challenges of entering school. We care about the “whole child,” 
including education, public safety, basic needs, medical support, 
nutrition and more.  (SELF)
