About
Early Learning and Family Services (ELAFS) - 479 children participated in our Head Start and Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program preschools. A total of 70 children ages birth to three and their highly impacted families were served by our intensive Early Head Start Program. The community's Single-Entry Access to Services (SEAS) system operated by ELAFS served 1,058 referrals from hospitals, doctors, family members and educators when I child was known to have or suspected of having a developmental delay or special need. Referrals were navigated to appropriate resources to meet the child's needs. Early Support for Infants and Toddlers served approximately 350 unduplicated children ages 0 to 3 to help address developmental delays and other special needs through therapeutic interventions and family resource coordination. Our Quality Child Care Division (QCC), through Child Care Aware, assisted 2,582 clients in their search for child care information and referral. In addition, the QCC Division enrolled 460 licensed child care/ early learning businesses in Early Achievers, Washington's Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS), then provided technical assistance, training and coaching to improve quality. Those enrolled providers serve 11,035 children in education and care programs. Early Learning and Family Services also manages the East Whatcom Community Resource Center. The East Whatcom Regional Resource Center served 829 residents of the East Whatcom region, providing approximately 700 referrals per month to social services for residents of this geographically isolated area.
