Denise Louie Education Center Denise Louie provides multi-cultural early childhood education services to low-income children.

Since 1978, DLEC has been providing a comprehensive, family-centered approach to early learning which meets the needs of low-income children and families in our communities. We provide a range of services for children birth to five years old from home visits to preschool centers to health trainings for parents--all designed to prepare kids for success in kindergarten and beyond. We recognize that parents and caregivers are their child's first and forever teacher, so we work with families from the beginning to ensure their child's success. We believe every child should have the opportunity to be successful regardless of income or background!

Has your family been part of DLEC's Kaleidoscope Play & Learn groups or our partnership with Mary's Place shelter? Both are funded in part by Best Starts for Kids, a voter-approved initiative that supports the wellbeing of more than 500,000 children and families across the region. BSK is approaching renewal, and King County wants to hear from YOU - what's working, and what do kids and families in your community need most?

Thank you to everyone who came out for DLEC's first-ever pickleball event. Every serve, rally, and laugh helped support early learning for children and families in our community.

A big thank you to Bellevue Pickleball for the swag and prizing as well as the Picklewood team for hosting us, and to Ethan Stowell Restaurantsfor the delicious food. 🙌

This was just our first game, and we're already dreaming up the next one. 🏆

Before the Super Bowl ring, there was Head Start. Jaxon & Canaan Smith-Njigba both got their start in Head Start in Nacogdoches, Texas. Their mom, Jami, sat down with us to share why early learning matters for every family 👇

Proposed federal changes would cut DLEC's administrative funding from 15% to 5% - a loss that could affect over half of our families and thousands across the US.

Head Start is At Risk. Speak Up by October 6!

For more than 60 years, Head Start has given children from families facing poverty a strong start in school and in life. At Denise Louie Education Center, that means children of immigrant, refugee, and low-income families learning, growing, and being seen for who they are. Now that promise is at risk.
