El equipo de Apoyos Estatales de Sistemas Comunitarios imagina un futuro en el que las comunidades locales trabajen juntas para brindar apoyo holístico y equitativo a los niños desde el nacimiento hasta los cinco años, centrándose en la voz y la equidad de la familia.

While the early childhood landscape is complex and fragmented, we want community collaborations and early childhood leaders to know; you don’t have to navigate this environment alone!

Connect with a collaboration

The Illinois Early Childhood Collaboration Directory provides information about the 90+ early childhood collaborations throughout Illinois. This list is always growing, so if you notice any collaborations missing, let us know!

Centering Family engagement

We believe that families should be the most prioritized voice when it comes to collaborations work because they have been too often excluded from early childhood systems.

Centering racial equity

We all have a role to play in advancing racial equity and deconstructing inequitable early childhood systems through community systems development. Together, we work towards equitable outcomes for all children.
