Every Step Counts!

Welcome, we're glad you're here!

Support for Early Learning & Families serves the children and families of Southwest Washington through advocacy and partnerships at the local and state levels to provide quality childcare and early learning opportunities for all. We've done this work for over 20 years and will continue in order to ensure every child in our community thrives.

As the year draws to a close, we invite you to imagine what’s possible when every child has the tools and support they need to learn, grow, and thrive. This holiday season, your generosity helps create meaningful steps toward a brighter future — one book, one child care business, one support network at a time.

Your support has helped children learn, grow, and dream big — but our work isn’t done. There’s still time to make a difference before the year ends. Your gift supports:

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library

A gifting program that mails high-quality, age-appropriate books to children ages birth to five.


Southwest Washington Child Care Partnership

Addressing the child care crisis in our region. This community-driven initiative recruits and equips aspiring child care providers, guiding them through the licensing process and helping them establish strong, resilient businesses that are built to grow and last.
