COLLEGE PLACE -- Two local state representatives were recently recognized as champions of early learning in the state.

Rep. Larry Haler, R-Richland, and Rep. Maureen Walsh, R-College Place, were recognized as Silver Crayon Recipients during a reception Aug. 31 at the Child Development Center of the Washington State Migrant Council in College Place. Haler and Walsh were chosen for their continued support of early learning programs throughout the region.

The awards were presented through the Early Learning Action Alliance, which was convened by the Children's Alliance.

The awards reception was held the same week the state unveiled its Washington State Early Learning Plan, to systematically meet the early learning needs of children throughout the state. The plan is expected to guide early learning policy and funding decisions over the next decade, with the goal of establishing a system that supports school readiness for children birth through third grade in the state, according to the Department of Early Learning.

More information on the Children's Alliance is available online at childrensalliance.org.
