Stable Workforce & Thriving Families
Rebuild State & Community Systems That Benefit Families, Infants & Toddlers.
Currently, Illinois’ early childhood system is very complex and highly fragmented, making it difficult for families and professionals alike to navigate the variety of programs and services available to them. At the same time, families across the state are feeling the strain as inflation and national uncertainty raises the economic pressure.
Cross-System Workforce
Enhance the higher education, professional development, and consultation opportunities available to support, train, upskill, and retain both new and incumbent professionals who work with expecting families, infants, and toddlers across all PN3-serving systems.
Economic Security
Strengthen the social safety net available so all expecting and new families have the resources and supports necessary to successfully fulfill their personal and professional needs.
