West Valley Early Learning Center Approach Earns An A For Awesome

Some serious recognition is coming soon for a job well done by Yakima's West Valley School District. (let's say "well started" because there is always more to do!)

Perhaps you've heard the expression -  A problem well stated is a problem half-solved? That rings true in West Valley Schools (WVSD)  where you definitely will hear the expression - Early Childhood Education Matters Most!

National Educators Come To See What Makes West Valley A Success

Teachers in the WSVD know that getting a good start is critical to lifelong success in learning.  The District's Early Learning approach has attracted the attention of a collective of national educators and administrators because of the results the program demonstrates.  That has resulted in the national team making a visit to West Valley to see for themselves .

The American Association of School Administrators (AASA) Early Learning Cohort is a group of professionals committed to making a positive difference for young children everywhere.

The impact of early learning programs on communities is profound. AASA’s Early Learning cohort brings educational leaders from across the country together to review emerging research, discover early learning best practices and plan to facilitate change. Recent research shows the high returns on investment and importance of high-quality early education programs—especially for disadvantaged kids.

West Valley's Approach Helps Students AND Teachers

Since 2017 the group of Superintendents, Central Office Administrators, Building Principals, Teachers, and Educational Leaders from around the United States have gathered to share best practices and to improve the way schools understand and interact with young children and their families. The impact of early learning programs on communities is profound.
