New Early Care & Education Provider Resources Now Live 

We’re excited to share that Help Me Grow WA has launched a brand new section on our website just for Early Care and Education (ECE) providers! This dedicated hub brings together tools, guidance, and resources designed to support this essential workforce in tracking children’s development and partnering with families. 

Early Care and Education providers play a vital role in children’s lives and are often among the first to notice developmental milestones and areas of concern. Our new ECE page offers a one-stop destination for information about the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) and how to use it meaningfully in your program, plus details about our ASQ partnership program and ways to connect families to child development support services like Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT). 

On this page, you’ll also find: 

• Free access to ASQ Online along with tailored training and support to make screening more accessible for you and families in your care. 

• Guidance on interpreting developmental screening results and talking with families in ways that feel supportive, not overwhelming. 

• Direct links to local child development resources and materials in multiple languages. 

• Support for connecting families to essential community resources (like WIC, Basic Food, help with health insurance enrollment, and finding pediatric care). 

We’re thrilled to be able to partner with providers across Washington and help ensure every child receives the strong foundation they deserve.  

If you’re an ECE provider and are interested in joining the ASQ Online project, we’d love to hear from you! Please take a moment to fill out our interest form, and a member of our team will reach out with next steps.
