The Start Early Illinois Policy team is pleased to release our newest multi-year policy agenda, guiding our work for the next four fiscal years and building on the work of our recently-concluded
[link removed]
inaugural agenda .


The FY24-27 Policy Agenda incorporates the many advances in the field over the past four years, including Governor Pritzker’s exciting multi-year Smart Start initiative, and encompasses our priorities – both within and alongside Smart Start. Our work will also both inform and be shaped by the governor’s recent announcement of the creation of a standalone early childhood agency.


The agenda continues to be anchored in community and provider voices, and is organized into four foundational components:
1. A stronger, more cohesive infrastructure for early childhood services
2. Well-designed and administered early childhood programs
3. A thriving, representative workforce
4. Improved access to health and mental health care, economic supports and healthy communities

We can be successful only when we work in partnership with families and providers, our advocacy partners, our public partners in city and state government and the tremendous philanthropic community in Illinois. We look forward to tackling these challenges with all of our partners to make Illinois the best state in the nation to raise a child.
