In honor of Week of the Young Child, we asked leaders and educators across the city why high-quality ECE matters for Milwaukee. Their responses highlight the multifaceted benefits of ECE and the amazing impact it has on our city.

In October, Notre Dame School of Milwaukee’s early learning center became the first program to receive accreditation through the Accreditation Facilitation Project. As the first to successfully complete accreditation through the program, they’re paving the way for other early education providers across the city to do this same.
