Redesigning the community-based training pathway for licensed child care providers in Washington.

The bill mandates the Department of Children, Youth, and Families to redesign the community-based training pathway for licensed child care providers. This pathway will serve as an alternative to existing credit-bearing pathways, replacing the provider access to a community equivalent (PACE) pathway. The redesigned pathway will be modeled after the discontinued building bridges community-based pathway and must be accessible, culturally relevant, and available in multiple languages.
