Whatcom Center for Early Learning

As a group, Whatcom Center for Early Learning staff are passionate about our work with children and families within our community. We utilize a research based service delivery model that is referred to as the "Primary Service Provider" (PSP) approach. The PSP model assigns a single WCEL specialist as the primary service provider (PSP) to the child based on family priorities and the child's developmental needs. Our team of PSPs is composed of speech language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and early education specialists. They offer support with feeding, motor and speech development, and behavior strategies to assist with daily challenges and developmental growth. Each family is also assigned a Family Resources Coordinator to support coordination and planning, and assisting the family to access resources as needed. Additionally, the PSP receives input and support from the entire WCEL team, and joint consultation with a PSP of another discipline is available as needed. We aim to actively contribute to a culture of appreciation. Our work and culture is guided by our commitment to ensure the best possible care, well-being, and safety to the children and families we serve.
