The Northeast Washington Early Childhood Program (NEWECP) is a division of Rural Resources Community Action. Through our Head Start and Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) classrooms, NEWECP delivers comprehensive early learning services for children ages 3-5 years old (not yet eligible for kindergarten).
In addition to educational services, our programs provide health, nutrition, parent education, and other social services to children and their families.
Our Vision
To contribute to a strong and healthy community by having a positive and lasting impact on children, families and communities.
Our mission
To engage families and community partners in a strength-based program that fosters learning and life skills for children and their families.
Our classrooms provide:
- Researched-based curriculum
- Kindergarten readiness skills
- Low teacher-to-child ratio
- Social-emotional development
- Individualized learning opportunities
- Family-style meals
- Outdoor learning activities
We recognize parents as their child’s first and most influential teachers. Our programs foster strong relationships with families, supporting positive parent-child interactions, family well-being, and connections to peers and the community.
