About the Program:
ECEAP (pronounced "E-Cap") is the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program funded by Washington State for children 3 and 4.
Head Start is funded by the federal government for children ages 3 and 4 and, in some locations, pregnant women and children birth to age 3.
Both ECEAP and Head Start include:
Free early learning child care or preschool to support child's development and learning. In some locations, Head Start may also offer home-based services.
Family support and parent involvement.
Child health coordination and nutrition.
Services responsive and appropriate to each child's and family's heritage and experience.
Children who attend ECEAP and Head Start learn to manage their feelings, get along with others and follow classroom procedures. They build the beginning skills for reading, math and science. The programs work closely with parents to support their children’s health and education and to meet family goals. They help families access medical and dental care and social services.
Wait List & Priority Enrollment Details:
Children are eligible for ECEAP and Head Start based on their age and family income. Up to 10 percent of ECEAP and Head Start children can be from families above the income limit if they have:
Developmental factors such as developmental delay, disability, or other special needs.
Environmental factors such as homelessness, family violence, chemical dependency, foster care, or incarcerated parents.
After eligibility is determined, children are prioritized for enrollment as space is available in their communities.
