The T.E.A.C.H. (Teacher Education and Compensation Helps) Early Childhood WISCONSIN Scholarhip Program:

• Links training, compensation and commitment to improving the quality of early childhood and school age care and education experiences for young children and their families.
• Involves a partnership for the sharing of expenses by the caregiver receiving the scholarship, the sponsoring program, and the T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood WISCONSIN Scholarship Program.

The Scholarship Program materials have recently been re-designed. Please contact T.E.A.C.H. for the most current information at 1-800-783-9322 ext. 7240 or e-mail teach@wecanaeyc.org
