A Note from the Governor...


Dear Washington families,


Thank you for visiting the Washington State Department of Early Learning’s Just for Kids Web site! I hope kids and grown-ups alike find this to be a fun, useful tool for families.


I grew up on a small farm in Auburn, part of a wonderful community that valued children. I was raised by a mother who made sure I finished my homework and had plenty of fun, and taught me that I could grow up to be anything I wanted to be.


I created the Department of Early Learning in 2006 because I want all Washington children to grow up safe, healthy and having fun. Parents are their children’s first and most important teachers, and this Web site is a “hub” that links families to fun activities and resources you can enjoy together.


Sincerely,

Governor Chris Gregoire
