Child Care Aware of Northwest Washington is a community service that works with parents/families, early childhood educators, businesses, and community organizations to help promote the availability of high quality early care and education programs in Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom Counties.

We provide parents and families with resources to licensed child care providers and consumer education to help make the most informed decision when selecting a high-quality early care and education program.

We offer early childhood educators access to valuable professional development and support services, for both new and established programs.

Child Care Aware of Northwest Washington also works to assess the supply and demand of child care in the communities we serve and based on our findings, increase the supply where needed.
