Proveedoras Unidas de Eastern Washington is a nonprofit organization founded by Early Childhood Educators dedicated to strengthening and empowering the child care workforce throughout Eastern Washington. Headquartered in Franklin County, our organization serves a diverse network of early learning providers across rural, bilingual, immigrant, and underserved communities across the region.

Proveedoras Unidas was created in response to the growing need for culturally responsive support, leadership development, advocacy, and professional resources for early childhood educators. As trusted community leaders and providers ourselves, we understand firsthand the challenges facing the early learning workforce and work collaboratively to create sustainable solutions that strengthen educators, families, and communities.

Our mission is to promote intercultural understanding, empower early childhood educators through education and advocacy, and elevate the voices of providers within the communities they serve. We believe that investing in educators directly improves outcomes for children, supports working families, and strengthens local economies.

Proveedoras Unidas offers a variety of programs and initiatives designed to support the professional and personal growth of early childhood educators, including:

• Professional development and state-approved training opportunities

• Leadership and workforce development programs

• Advocacy and community engagement initiatives

• Resource navigation and technical assistance

• Networking and peer support opportunities

• Culturally and linguistically responsive services for diverse communities

Collaboration is at the heart of our work. Proveedoras Unidas partners and collaborates with community organizations, advocacy groups, educational institutions, unions, nonprofits, and local leaders to expand resources, increase community impact, and address the evolving needs of providers and families throughout Eastern Washington. Through these partnerships, we are able to create stronger support systems, amplify community voices, and build long-term solutions that promote equity and access in early childhood education.

As our organization continues to grow, we welcome opportunities for partnerships, sponsorships, donor support, and grant collaborations with organizations and foundations that share our commitment to empowering educators, strengthening families, and improving the quality and accessibility of early childhood education across Eastern Washington.
