In 2018, just 25% of all children demonstrated Kindergarten readiness in #Illinois in all 3 areas assessed. Tell your legislators: equitable access to early learning and care is critical to the future of our state: https://t.co/9SAIfKABUi #EarlyEdIsEssential

The early childhood workforce is essential and is a critical support for children and families across the state. Thank you to the providers, teachers, home visitors, doulas and others for the difference you're making in the lives of young learners. #EarlyEdIsEssential #WOTYC21

As Illinois works to expand access to Medicaid, doulas, and other services that promote birth equity and justice, we must not only center the experiences of those in Black and brown communities but also follow their leadership. #BMHW21 #EarlyEdIsEssential #WOYC21
