An Important Note for New Contractors

Please do not apply through this survey if applying for fewer than 75 slots.


Organizations that are funded as Contractors through this RFA must demonstrate capacity to provide program planning, management and oversight to lead all components of ECEAP services. Having adequate funding and staffing to provide this ECEAP infrastructure requires a combined minimum of approximately 75 ECEAP, B-3 ECEAP, Head Start and/or tribally-funded preschool slots for children.


Please email dcyf.eceap@dcyf.wa.gov to coordinate with a current or prospective ECEAP contractor in your vicinity to discuss the possibility of becoming an ECEAP subcontractor working under that ECEAP contractor.


  • Exception: Current ECEAP contractors are exempt from this requirement.
  • Exception: Tribal sovereign nations’ application may also be considered if slot totals are under 75 slots.

Please select all programs for which you are applying.
