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.

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.
