Learn more about Partner Up:
The Partner Up! grant program will provide $10 million in funding to support childcare for Wisconsin’s businesses.
Through Partner Up! Businesses can reserve subsidized slots in regulated local childcare programs for their employees’ use. The employer will contribute part of the true cost of care for each slot reserved, and Partner Up! will contribute the remaining amount. Participating families will receive accessible, high-quality childcare at little-to-no out-of-pocket cost to them. Detailed information, including costs and eligibility, can be found on DCF’s Partner Up! Webpage.

Through a collaborative community approach, teams of community stakeholders, will work to evaluate, plan, sustain, and expand existing childcare, and support new childcare programs.
