Ninety-percent of a child’s brain develops by age 5, and early experiences impact every aspect of a child’s life. Our goal is to create access to high-quality learning environments so that all children have opportunities to flourish. Through childhood and beyond!
Children are at the center of all that we do.
COMMITMENT TO RACIAL EQUITY
Together with our friends and colleagues, Child Care Aware of Washington and Opportunity Council; Child Care Aware of Northwest Washington stands against racism and commits to work for justice in the communities we serve.
