What's New

Dear Child Care Providers,

We are aware of reports that members of the public and media are visiting child care locations run by Somali business owners in response to the media coverage about suspected fraud in Minnesota.

Phone lines are currently down at the DCYF Shelton office. While this issue is being addressed, please contact the Centralia office at (360) 669-2558 for assistance. 

The Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) launched a new webpage that highlights podcasts, videos, and other things that are created by or in partnership with young people in juvenile rehabilitation (JR).
