​Stable, affordable housing is the platform for a successful future. Education is the tool with which our children can launch themselves toward that future. Washington's Housing Authorities know this and have begun numerous innovative education programs on site and with local partners.

Play and Learn
Early learning plays a big role in school success. Play and Learn is a program for parents and children ages 0 to 5 years old. Children and parents participate together in fun, age appropriate activities. Parents also learn about how early brain development and ways to encourage their children to develop the skills they need. Across Washington, Housing Authorities know that investing in our youngest residents will ensure they grow up to be productive members or our society.

GLEA
KCHA's GLEA program is a partnership with Highline Public Schools to provide extra support for Housing Authority residents to prepare their children for kindergarten. Through a series of home visits and a 9-week workshop KCHA has been able to capitalize on its unique access to the low-income children in its communities.
