The Early Childhood Education program prepares students for a professional career in early childhood education, including preschool, childcare, and exceptional education settings serving children from birth to age eight. It is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary in the field of child development and early education and care. Students learn, first hand, about the childcare community and the roles and responsibilities of the Early Childhood Teacher within the classroom. The applied skill development afforded with the Practicum (student teaching) placement provides the student with an intensive and meaningful learning experience, through authentic interactions with children and childcare professionals.

Child care providers are vital contributors to reopening Wisconsin’s economy. In order to ensure parents are able to return to work, Wisconsin needs child care programs to safely remain open or reopen, be staffed, and able to care for children, ages 0-13.

There are three payment programs and three application periods as detailed below. Read more about the Child Care Counts: COVID-19 Emergency Payment Program and apply on the department’s website.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s become crystal clear that early care and education is critical in holding up Wisconsin’s essential services workforce. While our colleagues have been asked to continue to provide care and education during this health crisis, their own well-being must be prioritized as they are on the front line of caring for children of essential workers. Join us in calling on the Wisconsin State Senate and Assembly to provide hazard pay, health care coverage, grants and more.
