Early education in Milwaukee

Last month the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families released a report on early education in Milwaukee. It was released right before Christmas so it may have been missed by a lot of people. One statistic mentioned should give a lot of people pause:

Less than 3 percent of Milwaukee’s preschool, child care, and Head Start programs are accredited. Accreditation imposes more rigorous standards than state licensure or certification for teacher education, classroom sizes and parental involvement.

You can find the report here. It is a pretty good size file so if you want a summary first, you find the press release here.
