Description

• Illinois Action for Children is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to quality, accessible early learning and care opportunities for children. With more than 500 employees in 15 departments across four sites, we have championed the cause of quality child care and early education for families and children throughout Illinois for 46 years. Illinois Action for Children is a state and national leader in the early care and education community, distinguished by its Strong Families, Powerful Communities approach to child development, preschool education and other family and community supports.This broad approach to supporting children by supporting families is a proven and effective means to address overarching issues of endemic poverty, which are the root cause of the educational failure of America's poorest children.Illinois Action for Children's outreach and work with low-income, hard-to-reach families, has led us to research and implement highly effective and innovative programs and advocacy to ensure that early care and education, and other opportunities, are accessible to the children most in need. Highlights from our programs include: - Public Policy & Advocacy organizing to expand access to child care and early education, and other supports. - Early Learning Programs to make early education available to young children so they will be ready to succeed when they start school. - Resource and Referral Program to connect child care providers, parents, and employers with resources such as child care referrals, professional development, health services and community supports.Our mission is to be a catalyst for organizing, developing and supporting strong families and powerful communities where children matter most.
