The Early Childhood Health Consultation program partners with early childhood care & education providers to achieve best practices in child health and safety
The Early Childhood Health Consultation (ECHC) is a free program to support the implementation of best health & safety practices within early childhood care settings.
Currently, the ECHC program offers ongoing guidance statewide through our resource library, monthly webinars, and a fun, informative podcast.
In addition, tailored health consultation services are available to a growing number of early childhood care & education providers across Wisconsin, with the goal of state-wide support. Preview all of our current health consultation service locations through the Impact Map.
The ECHC program aims to provide a sustainable, state-wide model of making health expertise available via a consultation model to improve the quality of Wisconsin early childhood education programs’ health & safety practices and promote the health & well-being of children across Wisconsin.
It is in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families, housed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Human Ecology, and funded through the Preschool Development Grant.
