The Washington Department of Early Learning is getting ready to start field testing a new voluntary quality rating system for child care centers.
In preparation, state officials have been conducting meetings to educate the public. The last of these meetings is planned this week in White Center, south of Seattle.
Meetings are planned at the White Center Library on Thursday evening and at the White Center Boys and Girls Club on Saturday morning.
The Department of Early Learning will be testing its quality rating system in five areas of Washington this fall: Clark County, East Yakima, Kitsap County, Spokane County and White Center.
Child care centers in those areas will be asked to volunteer to be rated. Applications will be open soon.
