Description	At Children's Alliance we are advocates for kids. We ensure that laws, policies and programs work for kids, and we hold our leaders accountable until they secure the resources required to make all children safe and healthy. Early learning is an essential component in ensuring that children are ready to learn and succeed when they reach kindergarten and elementary school. In 2013, Children's Alliance worked to expand the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program to offer quality learning opportunities for an additional 1700 children. We also helped strengthen child care and home visiting programs.	Description

Description	Lawmakers were urged to build on what works, and Apple Health for Kids, the state's popular, successful, comprehensive health coverage for children, was strengthened so that it offers affordable coverage to all children. Children's Alliance partnered with immigrant families to make sure legislators considered the needs of their children. We led the Washington Dental Access Campaign in seeking a workforce solution to our oral health care crisis.	Description

Description	The Children's Alliance continued its efforts to End Childhood Hunger in Washington State. In 2013, Children's Alliance partnered with families who were threatened with the loss of their food stamp benefits, helping parents and grandparents write letters, visit legislators and speak at hearings to defend their children from the harm of hunger. We partially restored State Food Assistance, raising food stamp benefits for thousands of children and immigrant families.	Description
