The Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF), doing business as Washington State DCYF, received a $7,996,674 Preschool Development Grants Birth through Five (PDG B-5) Renewal Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. The award, effective September 30, 2024 through September 29, 2027, aims to improve and coordinate early childhood care and education systems for children from birth to age five in Washington. The funding will enable DCYF to conduct needs assessments, develop strategic plans, enhance family engagement, improve program quality, and expand access to early childhood services across a mixed delivery system. As the primary recipient, DCYF plans to issue sub-awards to local governments, non-profits, universities, and community service providers to deliver direct services supporting the PDG B-5 program objectives.
