Overview
Thrive by Five Washington is a public-private partnership created in 2006 and led by education, government and business leaders. We’re committed to every child having the opportunity to be thriving by the time they are 5.
To make that happen, Washington state must do something different than it has done in the past to support young children and their families. We need to make sure families that need child care can find nurturing, safe, high-quality and affordable care. We need to make available to all families easy-to-use information and resources about young children’s healthy development—and we need to do a better job of working together.
That’s where Thrive by Five Washington comes in. We bring together people, resources, and proven programs and practices—from around the state and around the world—to help create the early learning supports, services and system Washington families need. We also do everything possible to communicate and champion the importance of the early learning that’s occurring between birth and age 5. |
Vision
All children in Washington state are prepared to succeed in school and thrive in life.
Mission
Thrive’s mission is to mobilize public and private partners to advance development and learning of children from birth to age five. |
