Show Notes
Washingtons PreK Promise Account receives a $1 billion funding boost from the Ballmer Group, aiming to create up to 10,000 new spots in the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) over the next decade. This investment comes as a game-changer for families, addressing shortages and shifting focus to growth, despite federal funding threats. The program, which serves low-income and at-risk three- and four-year-olds, now offers spots to families earning up to 36% of the state median income, with additional eligibility for those facing health or domestic violence issues.
