Other Early Learning Professional Development Activities

There are other ways for early childhood professionals to enhance their education and training.

Here are just a few examples:

The Department of Early Learning (DEL) partners with School's Out Washington to provide school-age child care professional development. This includes a number of activities, such as training events across the state and maintenance and staffing of a provider toll-free number to insure accessibility to technical support assistance.
The DEL partners with the Washington State Child Care Resource & Referral Network to provide support to Family, Friends and Neighbor caregivers.
Also, mandatory subsidy billing training is offered through the R&R Network online or in-person. The completion of this course is only required for providers that have children in their care receiving child care subsidies. Click here to learn more.
The Seeds to Success, quality rating and improvement system pilot design communities planned to fund some education and training for early childhood professionals.
