Washington’s Early Learning Plan Ready & Successful Framework

Comprehensive Early Learning Equation:

� Ready & Successful Children

� Ready & Successful Parents, Families & Caregivers

� Ready & Successful Early Learning Professionals

� Ready & Successful Schools

� Ready & Successful Systems & Communities

= Ready & Successful State, Region, Counties

The Vision of Department of Early Learning

In Washington, we work together so that all children start life with a

solid foundation for success, based on strong families and a world-class

early learning system for all children prenatal through third grade.

Accessible, accountable, and developmentally and culturally

appropriate, our system partners with families to ensure that every

child is healthy, capable and confident in school and in life.

The Washington Early Learning Plan is integrated into our NW Early

Learning regional coalition as well as each of the counties’ early learning

coalitions, as a roadmap to build a comprehensive, coordinated, effective,

measurable, and accessible early learning system. Find the ELP at http://www.del.wa.gov/partnerships/elac/elp.aspx

Extreme Poverty: The number and share of children under age 6 who live in families with incomes less than

50% of the federal poverty level, as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. The federal

poverty threshold for a family of two adults and two children was $11,057. Data Source: The U.S. Census

Bureau's American Fact Finder, 2005-2007, 2006-2008, 2007-2009, and 2008-2010 American Community

Care Placement Services are provided when children need short-term or temporary protection because they

out-of-home placements exclusively. Placement types include traditional Foster Care Placements as well as

placements in Family Receiving Homes. Client counts for Foster Care Placement Services include only the

children being served, not their families. Children receiving Foster Care Placement Services are served

exclusively in out-of-home settings. Foster Care Placement Services may be provided without prior Child

Protective Services (CPS) involvement.” Data Source: Data for this measure come from the Washington State

Acknowledgements

The Regional PreK-K Transition Form: A transitional document that shared between community PreK

providers and kindergarten teachers, which represents a growing collaboration based on common

professional development, shared expectations and aligned instructional approaches. The Transition Form

is intended to maintain common understandings and shared practices (alignment) between PreK

providers and K teachers established through joint professional development, to provide a means of

communicating children’s developmental progress as they leave PreK and enter kindergarten, to help

schools meet the needs of incoming students and to grow the number of PreK and K teachers working in

collaboration.

Love. Talk. Play.: A campaign which aims to surround parents of children birth to age three with simple

messages about three key things all parents can and need to be doing with their children every day: love,

talk and play.

Infant/Toddler Project: A monthly consultation service provided to licensed center and home-based child

care providers serving infants and toddlers. The goal is to support caregivers in expanding high quality

care for very young children and their families. Statewide, the Infant & Toddler Childcare Consultation

Project has provided 2,092 hours of consultation in the first year of the project. Funding for additional

services in 2013/14 has been secured but the number of providers to be served in each county is not yet

known. The statewide number of licensed providers funded to participate in Infant/Toddler Project is

based upon the Estimated Outputs for the total number of providers to be served across all Infant/Toddler

Regions for2012/13.

Starting Strong P-3 Institute: Annual conference that brings together early learning professionals and K-12

educators for discussions about innovation and alignment between systems. Attendees range from
