Wilder Research: early learning condidtions among low-income families



In preparation for their mini-conference on April 10 in St Paul, the Wilder Foundation has released a report on the early learning conditions for children from low-income families in Minneapolis, St Paul, Blue Earth and Nicollet counties. The purpose of the study is to determine where children are at in regards to their early learning before the start of MELF projects in their areas.

The Minnesota Early Learning Foundation (MELF) is funding a variety of pilot projects in these areas, including Early Childhood Scholarships in St Paul, 500 Under 5 in North Minneapolis, and Early Learning Allowances in Blue Earth and Nicollet counties. Each of these areas is also a test site for Minnesota's Parent Aware Rating System.
