PreK and Kindergarten Toolkit:

Four years ago Early Learning Leaders from across the archdiocese came together to create the Archdiocese of Seattle PreK and Kindergarten toolkit. They gathered four times to research, collaborate, create, and collate the great resources designed for early learning directors, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten teachers, and principals who seek to enrich and expand their early learning programs. Please go to the Early Learning Resources and News Page on the Early Learning Portal to explore – you will find the toolkit under Resources and Curriculum section:

Licensed Only: Provider Portal Page

Each of our Licensed Programs have Provider Portal Page through the state. You can use this page to look at the history of your license, inspection results, complete grant applications and update items like hours and website links for your program. When families search for licensed child care/preschool/prek in our area the information you input in your portal is what they see. You can search for your program in the link I have provided below to see what is listed now. The staff that has access to the portal is the staff that is on the license for your site. Please let me know if you have any questions about the portal.
