Home 9 Early Care and Education 9 Update on Federal Early Learning Initiatives

WCCF has put together a summary of key federal early learning initiatives being deliberated in the Congress. With President Obama’s strong interest in early learning, the proposals on the table offer excellent opportunities for Wisconsin if they pass. The proposals include: the Early Learning Challenge Fund Home Visiting proposal Head Start and Early Head Start, Child Care and Development Block Grant, and Title I Pre-Kindergarten Incentive Fund. The summary describes the proposals, indicates progress in Congress, and explains the implications for Wisconsin. Our op-ed about this stuff, particularly the Early Learning Challenge Fund, has appeared or is about to appear in a few newspapers around the state, including this version in the Green Bay Press Gazette.
