Ope! We had an error in our last post 😬. Let’s try that again! Last week, the Governor’s Early Childhood Advisory Council (ECAC) met to discuss investments needed to strengthen Wisconsin’s early childhood system. The council, which was created in 2008, is co-chaired by the DCF secretary and the state superintendent of public instruction and exists to facilitate the development or enhancement of high-quality systems of early childhood education and care, which are designed to improve school readiness. A big thank you to the council members for taking time out of their busy days to connect and help move our state forward!
