Earlier today, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker delivered a bold plan to advance our collective vision for Illinois to be the best state in the nation in which to raise young children. His comprehensive, multi-year plan, Smart Start Illinois
, aims to expand and strengthen early care and education services to help ensure all expecting families, infants, toddlers and preschoolers across the state have what they need to be happy, healthy and ready to learn.

Start Early applauds the Governor’s ambitious plan to transform the early learning and care system and reach more families with critical programs and services that help children thrive.
Contact your legislator today and urge them to approve a Fiscal Year 2024 budget that includes today's proposed increases in state funding for key early care and education programs. Now is the time for bold action.
