Cultivate Learning

Cultivate Learning is committed to supporting the early childhood education (ECE) and expanded learning opportunity (ELO) workforce. Community engaged research and evaluation informs all of the work that we do. Data, and multiple forms of evaluation including community input guides all of the resources and products we create on behalf of the ECE and ELO workforce.

Founded at the University of Washington College of Education by Gail Joseph, Bezos Family Foundation Distinguished Professor in Early Learning, Cultivate Learning started as a single program of three staff in a small office, with a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Over the years, we have partnered with the Office of Head Start, the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families, Child Care Aware of Washington, and many others who believe deeply in our commitment to equity and access to quality early learning and expanded learning opportunities.
