Executive summary
Authorizing legislation
Commerce is required to report on funding for the Early Learning Facilities Program, per RCW 43.31.583:
When funding is provided in the previous biennium, the department, in collaboration with the department of
children, youth, and families, shall submit a report no later than December 1st of even-numbered years, to the
governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature that provides an update on the status of the early
learning facilities grant and loan program that includes, but is not limited to:
(1) The total amount of funds, by grant and loan, spent or contracted to be spent; and
(2) A list of projects awarded funding including, but not limited to, information about whether the
project is a renovation or new construction or some other category, where the project is located, and
the number of slots the project supports.
Funding overview
Commerce's Early Learning Facilities (ELF) Program provides funding to early learning providers for new
construction, renovation and acquisition projects that increase or retain early learning capacity throughout the
state. The ELF Program launched in 2017 to support the legal mandate of providing Early Childhood Education
and Assistance Program (ECEAP) slots to all eligible children by the 2026-27 school year and to meet the
state's commitment to providing high quality early learning opportunities to low-income children.
In the 2023-25 biennium, ELF made 133 awards totaling $84,592,840. These investments will create an
additional 3,436 early care slots in communities statewide. This includes:
• 72 minor renovations projects
• 35 major renovations (new construction or acquisition projects)
• 18 direct appropriations
• 8 pre-design or pre-development projects.
In addition, for consideration in the 2025-27 capital budget, ELF submitted nine additional school district
projects that requested $8.6 million to create another 240 early care slots.
Since its inception, ELF has awarded $216,091,762 in grants, leveraging $353,136,367 in non-state resources.
The ELF Program has funded 124 major construction/renovation projects, 288 minor renovation projects
(including 200 federal grant projects) and 23 pre-design/pre-development projects for early learning providers.
The program also has funded projects in 22 school districts and 44 facilities directly appropriated by the
Legislature. In total, the program has created or retained 13,607 early learning slots, of which 1,980 are ECEAP
and 4,295 are Working Connections Child Care (WCCC) slots and grantees have committed to provide another
3,601 ECEAP or WCCC slots based on ECEAP slot availability. We do not count future added slots for pre-
design and pre-development projects in the total new slots.
While these facilities have helped fill the gap, there is still significant need for additional early care spaces. The
Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) estimates that an additional 6,515 ECEAP slots and space
EARLY LEARNING FACILITIES PROGRAM - 2024 4
for 13,571 children receiving WCCC are still needed to make high-quality early learning accessible and
available to all eligible children.
As the program continues to evolve, we are working with our ELF Committee of Experts to discuss
programmatic enhancements that may better serve Washingtonians. These include looking into the following:
• Amending RCW 43.31.565-43.31.583 to include State-Tribal Education Compact Schools in the public
school districts funding round.
• Continuing funding for DCYF provide technical assistance for prospective and current Early Learning
Facilities grantees with pre-licensing and language access support.
• Leveraging and building on existing coordination between DCYF and OSPI to understand the need for
community-based child care facilities and the availability of slots, including subsidized child care,
private pay child care and transition to kindergarten.
Early Learning Facilities Program overview
The Early Learning Facilities (ELF) Program provides grants to eligible organizations to construct, renovate, or
acquire property for the purpose of expanding early learning capacity. Commerce awards ELF grant funds
through competitive processes and contracts with projects specifically designated for funding by the
Legislature through Direct Appropriation. Funding is available for facility expansion, developing new facilities,
and maintaining existing facilities operated by independent child care providers and school districts.
ELF-funded facility in Pateros
The Legislature created the program in 2017 to develop additional high-quality early learning facilities for
children of income-eligible families to help meet the legal mandate of providing Early Childhood Education and
Assistance Program (ECEAP) slots to meet entitlement by school year 2026-27 and to support the growing
need in the subsidized child care sector.
The ELF Program's primary goal is increasing early learning capacity throughout the state and retaining
existing capacity, prioritizing projects that provide a large number and percentage of slots to serve children
receiving ECEAP and WCCC subsidies. All new projects funded through the ELF Program must commit to
provide early learning services for at least 10 years. Overall, the ELF Program has leveraged $318,579,869.20
million in non-state resources through $210,828,522 million in ELF grants. Commerce sets match goals for its
competitive funding rounds and awards more points to projects that leverage non-state resources. However,
EARLY LEARNING FACILITIES PROGRAM - 2024 5
we realize this can create challenges in marginalized and rural communities where there are fewer match
partners so other criteria result in higher scores. Commerce awards extra points to projects in child care
deserts which are areas with inadequate child care supply. We award additional points to projects in rural
counties and/or small cities and towns. Commerce strives for geographic diversity when selecting projects for
funding to ensure that all parts of the state receive grants.

The updated statutory authority provided by Chapter 230, Laws of 2024 (HB 2195 (2024)) will help to ensure
projects selected for funding will be fully completed and the early learning facilities operational within the
designated time period. These new criteria require that proposed projects are fully funded in addition to
awarded grant funds, site control is established, zoning is reviewed and permissible for the project site and
type, the project cost is supported by current bids and the timeline indicates construction readiness.
Additionally, the updates will lead to more streamlined funding availability that will help clarify communications
and accessibility for the program.
EARLY LEARNING FACILITIES PROGRAM - 2024 6
ELF-funded facility in Pasco
Commerce relies heavily on its state and local partners to administer the ELF Program, both in scoring
applications received during competitive ELF funding rounds and by serving on our Early Learning Facilities
Committee of Experts. Members include the representatives required by RCW 43.31.581 and some additional
members (DCYF, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), the Washington State Housing
Finance Commission, WELL Fund Partners and the Yakima Valley Community Foundation). The ELF
Committee of Experts shares information about early learning licensing, operations and financing, etc. with
Commerce staff to help administer the ELF Program.
In addition to the standard funding the ELF program receives from the legislature for competitive awards and
project specific direct appropriations, the legislature also provides the program with targeted funding for
specific program assistance or enhancements.
In both the 2021-23 and 2023-25 biennia, the Legislature allocated 4% of the ELF capital appropriation, or
$1,881,920 and $1,682,000 respectively, to DCYF to provide technical assistance to current or prospective ELF
providers. DCYF's technical assistance services include both direct and contracted support. Examples of
DCYF's technical assistance activities include language access, guidance on DCYF licensing rules, and
information related to participating in ECEAP and WCCC for providers interested in applying for an ELF grant.
In an effort to provide more funding options to early learning providers, the Early Learning Facilities Committee
of Experts elected to provide $7 million of the eligible organization capital budget appropriation to the
Washington Early Learning Loan (WELL) Fund. This group of community development financial institutions
(CDFI) includes the Washington Community Reinvestment Association (WCRA), Enterprise Community
Partners, and Craft3.
EARLY LEARNING FACILITIES PROGRAM - 2024 7
Capital Readiness Pilot
In 2023-2025 the Legislature allocated $350,000 to explore a capital readiness pilot in partnership with DCYF
to understand and support prospective ELF grantees' needs in developing viable capital projects to increase
early learning capacity in Washington.
The pilot program is in development as of August 2024. Once launched, participants will engage in in-person
and virtual professional development events to learn about the process of developing a capital project and will
receive professional support to address on their individual projects and needs. Through this process,
participants will also earn continuing education credits.
Impacts of the Early Learning Facilities Program
Children who have access to high-quality early care and education opportunities have improved outcomes.
Access leads to greater kindergarten readiness and higher high school graduation rates. Research shows that
investments in high-quality early care and education programs can positively affect a lifetime of economic
earnings for the child, and parents are able to more fully participate in the workforce leading to more economic
resiliency and self-sufficiency. Thus, high-quality early care and education programs support working families
and an equitable flourishing Washington economy.
ELF-funded facility in Marysville
As stated in the 2023 Child Care Collaborative Task Force's update, "Child care is an essential industry that
supports other sectors and keeps our economy functioning. Washington’s recovery from the COVID-19
pandemic is jeopardized by a child care workforce shortage. In contrast to private sector employment, which
has stabilized, the child care sector is 9.7 percent smaller than it was in February 2020."1 Seattle, Tacoma, and
Bellevue rank number one of cities in the United States with insufficient child care workforces – and
Washington ranks one of the two worst states.2 Parents are desperately searching for care options while
licensed child care programs are struggling to keep classrooms open.
1 “Why You Can’t Find Child Care: 100,000 Workers Are Missing.” The subtitle is "Where did they go? To better-paying jobs stocking
shelves, cleaning offices, or doing anything that pays more than $15 an hour." New York Times. October 13, 2022.
2 How to Home. Cities with a lack of childcare workers. September 14, 2022. Using data from U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics’ Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (2020) and the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2020).
EARLY LEARNING FACILITIES PROGRAM - 2024 8
The impacts of the child care crisis are not shared equally across communities. Mothers were
disproportionately forced out of the workforce because of COVID-19 and without child care many will be left
behind in Washington’s recovery. In September 2020 alone, 78,000 men left the workforce, compared to
600,000 women.3"
Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program, Washington’s state-funded preschool program, serves
children and families who are economically and geographically furthest from opportunity in Washington,
serving approximately 480 locations across Washington State. DCYF administers ECEAP through 63 contracts
with school districts, educational service districts, community colleges, local governments, tribal
organizations, child care centers and homes, and nonprofits.4 Currently, 1,180 ECEAP slots have been created
in facilities that have received ELF funding. This assist’s the state in achieving the ECEAP statutory
requirement to meet entitlement by school year 2026-27.5 To fully meet entitlement, DCYF is estimating the
need to create approximately 6,515 additional slots and convert all 7,610 part-day slots to school-day and
working-day slots, requiring additional facilities space. Continued ELF program funding to Commerce and
DCYF will assist in meeting ECEAP entitlement through facility growth and allow DCYF to continue to support
providers with Pre-Licensing technical assistance.
Washington's child care subsidy benefit program, Working Connections Child Care, is built on a nationally
recognized quality recognition and improvement system called Early Achievers, and the Tribal equivalent to the
LOVIT Way, which helps providers establish a foundation of quality so they can offer meaningful early learning
experiences that honor diversity, equity and inclusion for each child and their family. Children who attend
higher-rated Early Achievers programs show greater gains in kindergarten readiness, child learning, and greater
high school graduation rates. Additionally, DCYF, in consultation with Washington State Federally Recognized
Tribes and Canadian First Nations, has identified the LOVIT Way as a culturally responsive equivalent to Early
Achievers. Commerce will also recognize this equivalence when monitoring project fidelity.

Family participation in WCCC is at pre-pandemic levels and continues to increase monthly since the
implementation of the Fair Start for Kids Act. RCW 43.216.802 requires DCYF to increase family income
eligibility to 75 percent State Median Income (SMI) in July 2025.6 This same RCW will expand family income

eligibility to 85 percent SMI based on amounts appropriated in July 2027. DCYF is estimating that the WCCC
expansion will increase access and affordability for 7,983 families and 13,571 children annually. The statutory
expansion of WCCC eligibility relies on increased provider participation, which includes increasing the number
and capacity of providers, demonstrating a need for continued funding for the ELF program.3

Examples of Early Learning Facilities projects
Little Stars Daycare
Little Stars Daycare, located in Pasco, received an ELF grant in the 2021-2023 biennium for $750,000 to
acquire a building previously used as an Adventist Church and convert it into an early learning facility. The
grantee contributed $250,000 in matching funds.
This new center now serves 70 ECEAP/WCCC children and held its official ribbon cutting on December 21,
2023.
"Our dreams have come true!" said Little Stars owner Bertha Landin, who looks forward to continuing to serve
the children in her community, thanks to the help provided to her through the Early Learning Facilities grant
program.

Green Gable Children's Center
Green Gable Children's Center, located in Spokane, received an ELF grant for $800,000 to purchase and
renovate a property for use as an early learning facility. This project brought in an additional $2,555,981 in
matching funds.
Although the community and local government fully supported this project, there were delays in construction
due to residential neighbors in the area objecting to the business opening in close proximity to their homes.
The grantee met with the community and met all the demands for additional landscaping, privacy fencing, and
a designated drop-off lane to be able to complete the project, which opened in August 2023. The center now
serves 130 children, including 35 ECEAP and 20 WCCC.
Owner Rebecca Lee expressed gratitude for the support she received from Commerce, the ELF team and the
Legislature for the funding to be able to open this brand new center.

DCYF technical assistance
The capital budget directs Commerce to provide up to 4% of competitive grant funding to DCYF to provide
technical assistance. In 2021-23 and 2023-25, technical assistance funding totaled $1,881,920 and $1,682,000,
respectively. This funding is critical to ELF grantees’ success in developing and constructing feasible projects
that will meet licensing requirements at completion. DCYF provides direct pre-licensing assistance to current
and prospective grantees as well as language assistance through a contractual agreement with the nonprofit
organization Imagine Institute.
ELF-funded facility in Renton
Pre-licensing support
DCYF has created a Pre-Licensing Unit that gives direct technical assistance to current or prospective ELF
grantees including providing assistance with feasibility and design to meet licensing requirements, guidance
related to learning environments, curriculum, and health and safety, navigating the process of becoming WCCC
and ECEAP providers, among other topics. This unit serves ELF providers across the state with a team of five
dedicated DCYF employees.
“In my many years of licensing, new childcare centers, the pre-licensing team has been the most beneficial
and amazing team in helping me open new centers. Our pre-licensing team helps by walking through your
center while updating you on WACS that have been updated, they walk-through with the fire marshal of
Washington State Patrol to go over requirements for us, as well as root you on with their support and help
in trying to get you open as fast as possible. I truly hope Washington state can see the benefits of having a
pre-licensing team so that us childcare providers can be more educated and supported as we embrace our
childcare crisis our state is facing today.” said Katie Hudkins (Wife, Mom, Boss), owner and director of
Tree Top Village in Kitsap County.
Imagine Institute
DCYF contracted with Imagine Institute to provide language access support and grassroots professional
development for both current and prospective ELF grantees. Imagine Institute's contracted supports provide
needed access to translation and interpretation services for grant processes. Since 2021, Imagine delivered
services to 214 licensed family home and 20 center providers. Imagine supported applicants and awardees in
14 languages and assisted providers in 14 counties. Approximately half of providers assisted were in rural
counties.
EARLY LEARNING FACILITIES PROGRAM - 2024 14
WELL Fund partnership
The Washington Early Learning Loan (WELL) Fund consists of three community development financial
institutions (CDFI):
1) Enterprise Community Partners,
2) the Washington Community Reinvestment Association and
3) Craft3.
The WELL Fund is the only entity that provides both lending and grant opportunities specifically for early
learning providers throughout the state and includes funding from Commerce, King County, The Ballmer Group,
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Seattle Foundation and other private capital.
The unique mix of state and private philanthropic funding allows the WELL Fund to blend funding sources for
projects to provide below-market interest rates and flexible terms. It provides funding opportunities on a rolling
basis to early learning providers. In addition, this mix of funding sources allows the WELL Fund to leverage
public and private dollars and provide grant opportunities to early learning providers. The WELL Fund also
provides key technical assistance to a statewide pipeline of projects that includes several ELF grantees.
Technical assistance can include navigating the facility development process, real estate development,
financing a new facility, and connecting providers to outside key experts. To date, the WELL Fund has awarded
a total of $26,006,098 in grants and loans. This includes $9,361,137 in public funding and $16,644,961 in
private, philanthropic, and county match. The funding went to 50 different early learning providers, creating a
total of 4,047 new early learning spaces throughout the state.
Commerce maintains a positive and growing relationship with the WELL Fund. As a responsive statewide
partner, the WELL Fund helps public funders address and solve project needs and gaps as they arise. For
example, the WELL Fund has provided critical early TA and supports to ensure projects move forward with
accessing Commerce ELF grants as they become available. To date, 20 projects that received WELL fund
predevelopment grants have gone on to receive larger Commerce ELF grants to support construction phases
of their projects.
In addition, the WELL Fund serves as a key lender when projects face gaps after all grant opportunities have
been exhausted. The WELL Fund has provided start up financing for key projects to ensure business launch
after construction is complete. The WELL Fund currently has a pipeline of 86 projects throughout the state at
different stages of readiness, and has provided funding in the form of grants or loans to 25 different ELF
grantees. The Legislature directed the WELL Fund to use $7.6 million to conduct a health and safety renovation
grant round for early learning facilities throughout the state, and will be included in the next annual report.
The WELL Fund provides technical assistance that often begins months prior to a lending or grant application
due date, and lasts throughout the life cycle of both short- and long-term loans and grants. Lastly, the WELL
Fund prioritizes equity in its outreach, granting and lending practices, and prioritizes projects that serve low-
income communities, such as those that accept state subsidies and ECEAP.
EARLY LEARNING FACILITIES PROGRAM - 2024 15
Potential programmatic enhancements
As the program continues to evolve, we are working with our ELF Committee of Experts to discuss
programmatic enhancements that may better serve Washingtonians. These discussions will include:
Amending RCW 43.31.565-43.31.583 to include: State-Tribal Education Compact Schools in the public
school districts funding round. Currently, State-Tribal Education Compact (STEC) Schools are eligible to
apply for ELF funding as an "Eligible Organization," but not within the biennial ELF School District program.
Commerce and the Early Learning Facilities Committee of Experts propose that the most suitable funding
category for STEC ELF projects is with the School District funding program so that we may expand tribal
access to early learning funding.
Continuing to fund DCYF technical assistance. Current authority for DCYF technical assistance funding
comes from the ELF capital appropriation. It specifies that up to 4% may be used for this purpose.
Commerce and our early learning provider grantees, both current and prospective, are reliant on the subject
matter expertise DCYF provides. This includes pre-licensing and language access support. Translation and
interpretation services, as well as navigating licensing requirements and grant processes continue to be a
barrier. With continued funding, DCYF will continue to contract for language access services and provide
direct pre-licensing supports. Codifying this authority within ELF statute may also be a consideration so
that when ELF receives capital funding, early learning providers have certainty of continued service.
Building on existing coordination between DCYF and OSPI, to better understand the need for community-
based child care facilities and the availability of slots, including subsidized child care, private pay child
care, transition to kindergarten capacity, and slot utilization. Transition to Kindergarten programming adds
a new element to the landscape of early learning services that is not yet fully realized and over time may
impact the need for community-based facilities funded by ELF.

Appendix C: Federally funded Minor Renovation
projects, 2021-23 biennium
Commerce awarded this funding round with federal COVID-19 relief funds. The intent was to provide support
to early learning facilities negatively impacted by the COVID-19 shutdown to complete minor renovations that
had to be delayed due to lack of income. These funds were specifically directed toward maintaining existing
child care facilities, not expanding capacity. Of the 257 awarded projects, 57 were not completed in the
required federal expenditure timeframe.
