Program Features
The Waisman Early Childhood Program is affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is a model program for meeting the needs of a developmentally diverse group of young children. Approximately two-thirds of the children in our program are typically developing, while up to one-third may have a special education need because of a developmental delay or disability.
Located within the Waisman Center, a nationally recognized facility concerned with human development and developmental disabilities, our program is able to draw upon the expertise of UW researchers, educators and clinicians at the Waisman Center and across campus. We offer training in many disciplines to qualified university students and provide a research setting in which relevant educational and developmental issues can be studied. In addition, the WECP serves as a community resource and provides outreach workshops to early childhood professionals.
Accreditation
The WECP is accredited by the City of Madison, and is licensed by the State of Wisconsin. We comply with all local, state and national regulations and standards governing early education and care.
