the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) and Head Start Saturation Study to analyze access to Washington’s ECEAP and Head Start programs serving 3-and 4-yearolds. This study estimates the number of eligible children living within each school district boundary and calculates the percentage currently served. It assigns points for each district based on numbers and percentages of unserved children and child maltreatment rates. These data are used to sort districts into groups by priority for ECEAP slot expansion.  \nThis Saturation Study is part of the information DCYF uses to determine appropriate locations for ECEAP slots. Current or potential ECEAP contractors may also use this study to inform decisions to apply for ECEAP slots or move existing ECEAP slots to communities with high needs.
