Early Learning Efforts in White Center and East Yakima Show Progress in Preparing Children for Kindergarten
Two communities supported by Thrive by Five Washington and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation receive an additional $8 million in funding
In East Yakima, Ready by Five:
* Created the Kindergarten Transition Program with the Yakima School District that brings new kindergartners to school two weeks before school starts to get to know their teacher, classmates, routines, and expectations, so that positive learning begins on day one of the school year.
* Started Creative Families, a monthly program to help parents learn more about how to engage in activities with their children that promote learning.
