Seattle’s Child Care Resources improves all children’s access to high quality early learning experiences by engaging with families, child care providers, and communities. Intrinsic to their daily work is identifying and addressing racism both internally and externally so that all children grow and develop in their early learning environments.
How wonderful it is to see the work of Child Care Resources’s Early Learning Professionals Team who are also members of the Goddard community!
