Early Learning Access Opportunities

Pierce County is seeking proposals to expand access to high-quality, affordable early learning opportunities for children, with an emphasis on serving low- and moderate-income families. The initiative is backed by a $1 million investment and supports the Executive's top priority of ensuring more children have access to quality early learning and care. Proposals must be delivered within the Pierce County Regional Transit Authority (RTA) boundaries. • The project must expand access to early learning opportunities for children ages birth to 5 and their families. • The project must remove barriers to participation in early learning programming, enhance organizational capacity to provide early learning opportunities, or strengthen family support. • The project must deliver services within the Pierce County Regional Transit Authority (RTA) boundaries. • Partnerships are critical in allowing organizations to maximize resources, coordinate services, and avoid duplication.
