The Fair Start for Kids Act brought big changes for Washington families and child care providers. Washington Communities for Children (WCFC) wanted to make it easier to understand what the Act means, who is eligible, and how parents/caregivers and child care providers can apply for and access benefits. Working with state and local partners, WCFC created a communication toolkit to share key messages and diverse messaging materials that partners across the state can use and adapt for their networks. Below you will find links to one-sheets and social media content.
