You are invited to join our Yahoo Support Group to exchange information about childcare issues, questions about DEL, DSHS, WACs, share referrals and helpful ideas with other Washington and Oregon child care providers.
"As a fellow Eastsider I really appreciate this email group, because this is a great way to stay informed. The huge expense to drive over each time there is a meeting is prohibitive for most of us to withstand for a long period of time (+$200/trip). So thank you for staying fact based and for including those with a different Geographic area."
