The Early Childhood and Family Studies Teaching and Learning (ECFS) program is designed to offer multidisciplinary and critical perspectives of early childhood development, early learning and family-centered education of young children. Through a combination of coursework and hands-on experiences in early learning settings, you will develop the necessary knowledge and skills to create inclusive and equitable learning environments and curriculum for young children. ECFS prepares you for a rewarding career in early childhood education.

We invite you to join us as advocates for children and families! The Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP), funded through the State of Washington's Department of Early Learning and the City of Seattle, offers part-day and full-day, high-quality, culturally and linguistically appropriate preschool services... The primary goal is to help participating children develop the skills they need to be ready for school and acquire a passion for lifelong learning. Families have access to information, resources, and training that support them in moving towards their individual and family goals. ECEAP also acknowledges that families are their child's first teacher and it is important that families have access to information and resources that help support their child's development. Each ECEAP site is unique and may offer part day, school day or working day services.

Part day programs provide a minimum of three hours of instruction for children, four to five days a week from September to May/June. School day programs provide a minimum of 5.5 hours of instruction per session, four or five days a week from September to June. Working day classrooms are open a minimum of 10 hours per day, five days per week, year-round. Teachers provide daily opportunities for children to improve skills in language and literacy, math, science, social studies, arts, and physical, social and emotional development. DEEL provides funds to non-profit, community-based organizations operating ECEAP classrooms. Funding is provided by the Washington State Department of Early Learning and the City of Seattle.

Part day ECEAP preschools are offered at two of our locations. School day and working day ECEAP preschools are located in multiple licensed child care centers across Seattle. Payment assistance may be available through Working Connections Child Care or the City of Seattle Child Care Assistance Program if families need help paying for a full day program. Research has firmly established that investing in early learning yields powerful benefits for children, both in early elementary and as a cornerstone to their overall educational success with life long benefits. High-quality preschool programs have the potential to close opportunity gaps, provide substantial learning gains, and prepare children for success in the kindergarten classroom and beyond. At Seattle Public Schools our Early Learning Vision is that all families and children have access to high-quality, culturally responsive, and inclusive learning experiences from preschool through fifth grade.

Every child deserves high-quality instruction that meets their individual needs. Early childhood education promotes the holistic development of a child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs in order to build a solid and broad foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing. Seattle Public Schools offers special education services for children age 3-5 determined eligible with a disability that impacts educational progress and who are in need of specially designed instruction.

However, employers are also required to include information about specific conditions that exist at their workplace (i.e.

providing first aid treatment to a child, picking up discarded syringes in public places before children can safely play outdoors, or cleaning surfaces contaminated with blood or other potentially infectious materials [OPIM]). Only using the training module without the workplace-specific information will not satisfy all training requirements. Several slides indicate where workplace-specific information should be included.
