Our Mission

The Center for District Innovation and Leadership in Early Education (DIAL EE) works as a convener, facilitator, policy advocate, connector and partner, to co-create student-centered solutions from the ground up that uphold every child’s promise from the start.

We believe that through genuine collaboration, local education agencies and community partners can give children a strong foundation by creating early education strategies attuned to the needs of children and families. We exist to make this belief a reality.

The Center for District Innovation and Leadership in Early Education (DIAL EE) is part of Cultivate Learning at the University of Washington.
