Next Door Milwaukee
Founded in 1969, Next Door is an award-winning, birth-to-five early learning school based in Milwaukee’s Central City. We focus on the first five years of life because that is when a child’s brain development is most active and when we can have the greatest impact on a child’s future success. Our ultimate goal is to get our students ready for school and ready for life! We offer families full and half-day center-based programming as well as a home-based option. All of our programs provide access to health and dental care, as well as special education and mental health services. Knowing that parents are a child’s first teacher, Next Door offers a number of supportive services for moms and dads. They include: prenatal services, adult education and a fatherhood program. We also have a team of Family Advocates, who work closely with parents to make sure the family has what they need to succeed. Our reach goes even further into the community by leading a partnership program with ten early childhood organizations in Milwaukee County. Next Door staff offers teacher coaching and training on curriculum assessment at each of the partner locations. By working together, we can increase access to safe and high-quality infant and toddler care. Between our own sites and the partner agencies, Next Door currently serves more than 2,000 children and their families. Next Door offers a host of giving and volunteer opportunities throughout the year to support our children and families.
