Birth to Five Illinois leaders say the statewide council will ensure that families who directly use early childhood services continue to shape how those programs are implemented and improved across the state. #council #parent
With funds received through its contract with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), Birth to Five Illinois currently supports 40 Local Early Childhood Collaborations. #childhood
The anticipated grant amounts of $50,000 to $80,000 will allow recipients to focus on the needs identified at the local level within their own communities. #birthtofive #earlychildhood
These Planning Grants follow $2.6 million in Implementation Grants (funded by IDHS) awarded to 24 existing Local Early Childhood Collaboration recipients. #birthtofive
