The Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards (WMELS) are derived from research in the domains of early learning and development and apply to all settings in which children receive care and education. These early learning standards are intended to align to Wisconsin’s K-12 Model Academic Standards and to provide early learning opportunities that support children’s success across environments and in the future.
