WECA Programs

WECA exists to support and advocate for the early childhood and early care and education workforce in Wisconsin through the administration of its key programs. Each program provides vital support, tools and resources to early childhood professionals and programs serving our state’s youngest children and their families.

The WECA Food Program is instrumental for licensed or certified family child care providers to serve nutritionally balanced meals and snacks to children throughout Wisconsin. Supported through funding from the federal Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), it remains the only food program in Wisconsin to serve providers, children and families in all 72 counties and all Tribal nations.
