Thank You For Participating in Early Childhood Advocacy Day!On April 16, Start Early along with our partners at Child Care For All, COFI, Illinois Action for Children, Latino Policy Forum, Raising Illinois, SEIU, and We, the Village brought nearly 300 advocates down to Springfield to advocate for Illinois' youngest learners. Advocates shared policy briefs outlining the impact that the creation of the Department of Early Childhood and increased funding for ECACE & Early Intervention would have on our early childhood systems. In visits with legislators, advocates also shared Raising Illinois'
Babies Can't Wait postcards highlighting the struggles & successes Illinois families have had with Early Intervention.
If you were able to join us in person, please fill out this evaluation survey so we can continue improving our Early Childhood Advocacy Day program. |
