Next Door Milwaukee is a mid-sized nonprofit focused on birth-to-five early learning, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and founded in 1969. The organization offers both center-based and home-based early education programs with full- and half-day options, and it ensures access to health and dental care, special education, and mental health services for families. It also supports parents as their children's first teachers through prenatal services, adult education, and a fatherhood program, backed by a team of Family Advocates. It leads a partnership program with ten early childhood organizations in Milwaukee County, providing teacher coaching and curriculum assessment to partners to expand access to safe, high-quality infant and toddler care. Through its own sites and partner locations, Next Door serves more than 2,000 children and their families. The organization also offers giving and volunteer opportunities, and in 2022 launched Next Door’s Pathways program to create no-cost pathways for individuals to enter the field.
