The Inland Northwest Early Learning Alliance strives to help young children and families succeed.

We envision a world where all children have access to quality early learning.

Our Values:

Focusing on collaboration

The Inland Northwest Early Learning Alliance was founded on the premise of collaboration. We commit to coming together to eliminate silos, funding competition, and the duplication of services in regional early learning programming, ultimately leading to better care for children across all regions.

Committing to equity and inclusiveness

We recognize and respect social, linguistic, cultural, and ethnic diversity, and the unique needs of families and communities. We acknowledge opportunity gaps exists for children and families based on race, ethnicity, gender, income, ability, culture, and geography. We commit to eliminating these gaps and addressing root causes.

Honoring children and families

We honor families as their child’s first teachers and strongest advocates. We commit to working beside and with parents, family members, and all other caregivers to help all children achieve their greatest potential.

Embracing community voice

We believe children, families, and communities are integral in creating policy and making program decisions that impact their lives. We believe local communities are best suited to identify community needs, and we commit to innovative solutions that are co-designed from the beginning.
