Wahoocegįkra
Hoocąk Immersion Daycare
Tomah, WI

In July 2007, the Language Division began the pilot program for an Immersion Daycare for children 3 months to 5 years of age.  The daycare center, Wahoocegįkra, was opened for four Hoocąk children from the Tomah, WI area.  These children are being spoken to in Hoocąk and nurtured in the Hoocąk way.  Apprentices and Master Speakers have worked with these little ones for the past year and a half with great success.  These children understand, think and are beginning to speak in Hoocąk. 

**These children will be the first group of children to have Hoocąk as their first language in over 50 years!** 

Additional centers are planning to be opened as funding becomes available.

Enjoy some of the good times at the Wahoocegįkra.
