Celebrating Impact, Together
| We’re thrilled to share BrightSpark’s FY24/25 Community Impact Report, a snapshot of the incredible progress our community has made in expanding access to and improving the quality of child care. This year’s report lifts up the power of families, providers, and partners who are reimagining early learning together. It reflects the strength of a movement that is building child-centered, antiracist systems of care, and the momentum that grows when people come together with a shared purpose. Now more than ever, amid uncertainty in the funding landscape, your ongoing support means everything. Thank you for being an integral part of a community that is reshaping what’s possible for children and families. Together, we are creating lasting change in early learning. |
“While this was a year of significant expansion for our organization, we also spent it refocusing on and refining our established programs and services. We intentionally honed in on two guiding goals: increasing families’ access to early learning and elevating the quality of child care across King and Pierce Counties.
This is why we are so excited that our work has connected thousands of families to care; distributed millions of dollars in subsidies; and supported thousands of child care providers and Family, Friend, & Neighbor caregivers with resources and education to elevate their work. And that’s just scratching the surface!”
— Phoebe Sade, Executive Officer
