Recommended Option for the Family Child Care Pilot of the Seattle Preschool Program

Prepared for the City of Seattle Department of Education and Early Learning (DEEL) Advisory Committee in 2016

This report, finalized in March 2016, was written by APA staff and presents the Advisory Committee’s recommended approach for integrating Family Child Care (FCC) providers into Seattle’s Preschool Program (SPP). Originally approved by Seattle voters via Proposition 1B in November 2014, the SPP is a four-year pilot (2015–16 through 2018–19) funded by a $58 million levy and designed to expand high-quality, affordable preschool citywide.
