This week, the Department of Early Learning launched a new online resource for families — our “Just for Kids” Web site. It’s filled with fun information and activities for children and the adults who love them to do together.

Gov. Gregoire has proclaimed October as Family Involvement in Education Month because she recognizes that parents are their children’s first and most important teacher. We hope Washington families find this to be a valuable resource to support them in that role.

In this age when many children have more computer knowledge than their parents, we focused on creating a safe, age-appropriate place where families can have fun and learn together. Among the topics covered on our site are Internet safety, community activities, health and nutrition, keeping our planet clean, fun facts about our state and financial literacy.
