High-Quality Early Development & Learning
Revamp & strengthen programs to support the needs of infants and toddlers and the professionals who work with them.
Despite research that consistently demonstrates the effectiveness of early learning and development interventions, the United States invests relatively little in its youngest learners. In Illinois, the impacts of this reality are critical.
Early Care & Learning
Provide a continuum of affordable, inclusive, and high-quality early childhood programs that meet the needs of every family with an infant or toddler.
Early Intervention
Deliver timely and high-quality Early Intervention services to all eligible infants, toddlers, and their families.
