Calling all voters in Seattle, Washington! It’s time to step up for kids and families.
Families, Education, Preschool and Promise (FEPP) levy (Proposition 1) is up for renewal – a $658.2 million investment in children’s futures.
Here’s why you should vote YES:
- Seattle Preschool Program: Adds 600 new affordable preschool seats, expanding to support 3,100 3- and 4-year-olds by 2032.
- Child Care Assistance Program: More than doubles the capacity of Seattle’s child care subsidy program, saving families an average of $6,500 per child each year.
- Prenatal-to-3 Supports: Promotes kindergarten readiness as well as parental health and well-being.
- Workforce Retention: Provides direct payments to 5,000 childcare workers to strengthen the childcare workforce.
- Education and Beyond: Invests in students’ mental and physical health, cultural and academic enrichment, afterschool and summer learning, apprenticeship, trade school programs and free tuition at Seattle Colleges for public school grads.
Prop 1 is a bold investment in Seattle’s children. Vote YES to build a city where every kid can thrive!
