“The Wisconsin Early Learning Coalition strongly supports investments to help child care programs improve quality under YoungStar. With a recent emphasis of the Read to Lead initiative on third grade reading proficiency and extraordinary evidence of the effectiveness of investments in the early years, Wisconsin should build on the solid start of the YoungStar quality rating and improvement system. Improving the quality of child care services for 50,000 children in Wisconsin Shares will help them thrive and be better prepared for school and life.”
