Want to start a child care business in Wisconsin?

Families across the state need more child care programs – they need you!  

The Child Care Start-Up Program is no longer accepting new participants. If you are interested in starting a new child care business, please visit WECA Pre-Licensing for information about the Southeastern and Northern regions or 4C for Children for other areas of the state.
