I thought the WACs were very informative to read about, although I had to find some of them on the app.gov.wa.gov website, which I hope is ok. Also, just so you know, the course material called “Foundational Quality Standards…” won’t open- it says that it can’t be found. I found it interesting that in WAC 110-300-0100 staff (maybe specifically lead teachers and center directors) are supposed to know about community resources for parents and families. I also liked how in that WAC it details the qualifications and job descriptions for the various roles within an early learning environment. Overall, these WACs gave a nice overview of center management requirements, as well as specifics related to teacher education and health and safety requirements.

The WACs are all very sensible, and it’s interesting to see how all of the details are accounted for and what types of things are given importance (family members, number of hours that constitute the need for licensing, etc).
