Welcome to

Chelan Douglas Child Services Association

Where little learners grow, families connect, and support is always close by. 

At CDCSA, we provide a warm, nurturing environment for children from birth to age five. Our programs spark imagination and early learning through fun, hands-on activities through social-emotional development, math, science, and pre-reading skills. 

We’re more than a childcare provider—we’re a supportive community. 

We provide care for children from birth to age five. We also stand beside expectant mothers and families by offering access to valuable resources and meaningful connections through our program and local partnerships. 

Families who meet eligibility requirements can apply to our state or federally funded preschool programs. We also accept childcare subsidies and private pay childcare. There is guidance offered during the enrollment process every step of the way. 

Let’s build brighter futures together—one child, one family, one connection at a time.

Chelan Douglas Child Services Association (CDCSA) is a non-profit organization and a designated provider of Head Start, Early Head Start and ECEAP services in the Chelan and Douglas counties. The federally funded Head Start Program and the Washington State funded Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) originated out of a need to provide preschool services to low income/high risk three to five year old children. Early Head Start is also a federally funded program that serves children, prenatal to age three. This program began when it was recognized that the very early years of a child’s life are vitally important to healthy social and developmental growth. CDCSA has served children since 1965. The first 21 years as part of Chelan Douglas Community Action.  In 1988, we branched off and formed our own organization. Currently we have four direct sites throughout Chelan Douglas County, serving hundreds children and offer both full day childcare and preschool classroom models. We also offer Home Base programs. In addition, we have 3 subcontracted ECEAP sites with the Orondo school district, Wenatchee school district, and Cashmere school district.
