Milwaukee WIth Kids is proud to be partnering with Children’s Wisconsin to highlight the many way they are there for all families at every turn.
Shortly after Victoria was born in 2019, she was diagnosed with Down syndrome. Often kids with Down syndrome have low muscle tone — and that was the case for Victoria.
In her life, she struggled to learn to crawl and walk, but, now, nothing is slowing her down.
Victoria’s physical therapist at Children’s Wisconsin connected her with Go Baby Go!, a partnership that builds specially designed cars that help kids with special needs become independent.
Watch Victoria’s story to learn how her Children’s Wisconsin has been there for her at every turn to help her become the thriving, active child she is today.
In 2013, Calie Herbst, a former teacher with three little ones, saw a need for a “One Stop Shop” for family fun in Milwaukee. So she founded Milwaukee With Kids. Her goal was to find the best this city has to offer families and share it with other parents. In one place.
In 2019, she published “Exploring Milwaukee WIth Kids”, a comprehensive Milwaukee travel guide for families and kids.
She appears regularly on WISN News, Fox 6’s ‘Real Milwaukee’, B93.3, and Wisconsin Morning News. She has been featured in Medium, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, NPR, the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, and on CBS 58 News.
Calie is available for hosting, moderating and media appearances.
