Early Education Statement

Introduction

The availability and accessibility of high quality early childhood education can benefit children, their families, and society overall in terms of preparing children to learn and succeed in school. It can also increase financial self-sufficiency for parents; and reduce societal costs for public assistance, welfare and special education. It aligns with our YWCA mission to build a community of peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people. It contributes to the economic empowerment of women and helps counter the oppressive effects of poverty and racial/social injustice.

Through its Y’s Care Children’s Program, YWCA Clark County has provided high quality early childhood education for homeless and low income children for many years. However, since Y’s Care can only serve a limited number of children, it is important to support and work with other organizations in order to meet early childhood education needs in our community. There is considerable momentum around this issue at present, so this is an opportune time for YWCA involvement.

Policy Statement on Early Childhood Education
                                                                  
YWCA Clark County supports quality, affordable and accessible early childhood education that provides children with culturally sensitive, developmentally appropriate activities that enable children to succeed in school and life, helping them and their families to move towards economic independence.

YWCA Clark County, 3609 Main Street, Vancouver, WA 98663
