SELF awarded an early learning grant from Thrive by Five
Posted February 28, 2013Thrive by Five, a statewide early learning nonprofit, has awarded a $76,178 grant for early learning in Clark County. Over the next year, Support for Early Learning and Families (SELF) and the Southwest Early Learning Regional Coalition will use the grant to support the coordination of services, increase awareness of early learning, prepare children for kindergarten, and provide resources to families. The regional coalition is building on a project to help strengthen the state’s early learning system and partner with families to help ensure that all children are healthy, capable and confident in school and in life. “The funding from Thrive is vital to advance early learning work in Southwest Washington,” says Debbie Ham, executive director of SELF. “The work conducted on the ground ensures that all children are ready for kindergarten and more importantly ready to learn on their first day of school.” For more information on SELF, visit www.selfwa.org/.
