Wisconsin DEC Subdivision
Welcome to the Wisconsin Division for Early Childhood (WDEC)! Our statewide work is undertaken as a branch of the national DEC. We promote the work of DEC locally in Wisconsin through activities such as promoting policies, supporting networking and connection, promoting professional development, and advancing evidence-based practices that support young children (0-8) who have or are at risk for developmental delays and disabilities and their families. The WDEC mission is to support any individuals engaging in this important work of supporting the development of children and families!
We advocate for high-quality early care and education, partnering with families, intentional inclusive education for all young children, whole-child assessments, and embedding standards through meaningful routines and play-based learning. Our work is better when done together, and we are doing great things in Wisconsin!

Here you will find the most current information on the events and work our board is undertaking, along with resources, board documents, and contact information. We are always looking for individuals to join our board and get involved because we know how important it is to work together as a community. Please reach out to the current WDEC President (contact information on the WDEC Google Site) if you are interested in connecting, learning more, or diving in with being involved--We would love to hear from you!
