Abstract: The education system is most likely to yield transformative change when learners can access the support they need to succeed. For parenting students, or students who care for dependent children, an education system developed with their needs in mind can help them meet their personal goals and develop the skills necessary for stable employment and steady income. In this way, education for parenting students is both an individual opportunity and a multigenerational opportunity that creates immediate and long-term benefits for families and communities. In this report, the authors present a profile of Washington's parenting students, then situate this profile alongside the universal childcare challenges experienced by all parents. They then summarize the resources and targeted supports that are available for parenting students and highlight strategies and interventions other states have used to center parenting students' needs in policy and practice.
