The push to save Parent Education and cooperative preschools is about more than just maintaining a classroom; it is about preserving a vital community infrastructure that has strengthened Washington families for nearly a century. By providing parents with leadership skills, college credit, and a supportive network, these programs turn the “village” concept into a practical reality. The current funding threat ignores the long-term workforce and societal value these programs create, treating essential family development as a luxury rather than a foundation for healthy, thriving communities.
