On February 10th, with the support of our families we were able to attend a legislative session and advocate for our community! We appreciate every one of our families so much, and hope that our voices made a difference. Thanks to Representative Stephanie Barnard and Representative April Connors from District 8 for making time to hear from the community they serve! Thanks to SEIU 925 for advocating for the continued support for child care providers. We appreciate every one who made this experience possible. 🩷

The numbers don’t lie: Washington families are already paying too much for child care. We must say NO to more cuts.

For more stats like this one, CCA of WA has a tool on our website where you can find data specific to your county. These numbers are great to include when you write to your legislators! https://childcareawarewa.org/data-advocacy/child-care-data-statistics/

Columbia Basin Child Care & Preschool is excited to announce its participation in a pilot program for the online Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), made possible through our partnership with Help Me Grow Washington.
