Grounded in our home state of Illinois — and working with state leaders, advocates and other partners at community, state and federal levels — our policy and advocacy work aims to:
- Improve early childhood experiences for all young children through programs and policies that support early learning and care, maternal and child health and family engagement.
- Sustain and increase public investments for quality, comprehensive early childhood education.
- Support policies and service delivery systems that increase access to high-quality, affordable early childhood education and positively impact young children’s learning, health and family outcomes.
