Successful Partnerships
Foundation for Early Learning is proud to be part of the Getting School Ready! partnership that includes The Boeing Company, CHILD Profile – a program of the Washington State Department of Health, United Way of King County, Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Puget Sound ESD, and the King County SOAR Initiative. All of these organizations played an integral role in making this project a success. This work builds on the existing partnership of the many parents, providers and other professionals who developed the original booklet.
Supporting partnerships, like the creation of the Getting School Ready!® booklet provides information to the providers and community leaders who help prepare children and families for the transition into kindergarten. Let’s continue to work together so that all children enter school prepared to succeed.
To learn more about how the Getting School Ready! booklets were developed, please read Rethinking School Readiness by Debra R. Sullivan. The booklet text was developed over 40 community conversations with parents, teachers, child care providers, and others. Conversations were facilitated in Cambodian, English, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Somali.
