The work of the Partnership is divided into four Ages & Stages that span the cradle to career continuum, in addition to a commitment to support health and wellbeing, and racial equity.
Each Ages & Stages has Collaborative Action Networks (CAN) – partners and stakeholders who represent the community and organizations who contribute to and modify the practices that positively influence outcomes for children, youth, and families in East King County.

Eastside Early Learning Facilitators
Purpose: All Hispanic and Latino children in East King County are supported and prepared to enter and thrive through Kindergarten.
The Eastside Early Learning Facilitators (EELF) Project is based on the Promotores model where Latino community members are trained to be facilitators acting as a bridge between the community and Providers in East King County. Information about services for families with children from prenatal to five are shared with them through family visits and feedback from the community is brought back to Providers in order to drive system level changes for services to be equitable for the Latino community.
