Our Purpose

The North Central Early Learning Coalition will partner and collaborate to

(i) expand program options and access,

(ii) invest in early learning educators and care providers, and

(iii) engage local communities,

to ensure that all children and families have equitable access to quality childcare and early learning

options that meet their unique needs.

Who we are

The North Central Early Learning Coalition (NCELC) is a collaboration of the early learning community dedicated to supporting young children and families to thrive. We are one of ten state regional partners of Washington Communities for Children.

Our work

Our work is guided and aligned with the Washington State Early Learning Coordination Plan (ELCP) placing families and children at the core of all we do. Our shared vision and commitment to the ELCP drive our goals and inform our strategic plan.
