(WSIL) -- Illinois has launched the "I Got Love/¡Siento Amor!â€� campaign for childcare and early education services.Â
To help increase early childhood and care enrollment statewide, the campaign is investing $12.7 million in amplifying information about Illinois' early childhood education services.Â
The Illinois Cares for Kids website is a search engine for local programs, information on child care subsidy programs and many other resources on the importance of early learning.Â
The ‘I Got Love / ¡Siento Amor! campaign is available in English and Spanish and features an Illinois-based local artistic collaboration spreading the message that Illinois is full of people who care.Â
“We’re making Illinois the best state in the nation to raise a child â€� and it’s essential to ensure families have access to affordable early childhood education and care to build a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning,â€Â�said Governor JB Pritzker. “Illinois Cares for Kids helps Illinois families choose from hundreds of local providers to find the right match for their children.â€�
The campaign also includes a statewide Text Messaging Platform, Ready for K, that offers fun facts and tips on children’s learning and development, available in multiple languages.
