Early Childhood Education & Assistance Program and Transitional Kindergarten families connect with each other and the community
information released
On Tuesday, April 22, Manson School District’s Early Learning Center was proud to host a vibrant and well-attended Parent Night for families of our Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECAP) and Transitional Kindergarten (TTK) students. The evening was more than just an event — it was a celebration of community, connection, and collaboration.
Parents were welcomed into a warm and engaging atmosphere where they had the opportunity to meet with a variety of local organizations committed to the health, education, and well-being of children and families. We were honored to be joined by dedicated representatives from Columbia Valley Community Health, Lake Chelan Health and EMS, Manson Library, Thrive Chelan Valley, and the Chelan Douglas Health District.
Throughout the evening, parents engaged in meaningful conversations with a broad range of experts, including a registered dietician, a dental hygienist, a Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) representative, the executive director of Thrive, a librarian, a paramedic, a registered nurse, and many others. These professionals shared valuable resources, answered questions, and offered support tailored to the needs of young learners and their families.
What truly stood out was the incredible energy in the room. It wasn’t just the parents and caregivers who were connecting — our community partners were also networking with one another, sharing ideas, and building stronger ties to support student success across the valley. It was a true example of how community collaboration can create a web of support that uplifts every child.
We are deeply grateful to all the families who joined us and to our community partners for taking the time to invest in our students and their futures. Together, we’re building the kind of strong, informed, and connected community that every child deserves.
