About the Early Care and Education Centers
ESD 112 has been providing early care and education services to young children since 1989. ESD 112 leverages local, state and federal funding to offer blended programming that meets the needs of families with young children ages birth to 12 years. Our centers participate in quality initiatives, and we partner with SELF (Support for Early Learning and Families) to provide knowledgeable, caring and qualified staff.
ECE operates 26 centers across Clark, Klickitat and Pacific counties serving 1,500 children and utilizing more than 200 employees.
All of our centers that serve children ages birth through five years old participate in our state’s Quality Rating and Improvement System called Early Achievers. This system includes professional development, on site coaching, and program assessment.
