DCYF is excited to share that a fourth round of Tribal Early Learning funding (TELF) is available to tribal early learning programs and tribal-serving organizations. This funding opportunity supports tribal children, prenatal to five, in early learning programs across Washington state in a culturally appropriate and inclusive manner.

The Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) finalizes a more comprehensive review process for transitioning eligible young individuals from secure residential facilities to community programs. 

Since January 2024, DCYF has conducted weekly multi-disciplinary committee meetings to assess placements for young people in community facilities.
 

Due to inclement weather, the following DCYF Offices in Region 6 are closed as of 12 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 13. Regular business hours are anticipated on Friday, Feb. 14 unless inclement weather conditions persist.
