As a result of a commitment to improve the early childhood care and education (ECCE) mixed-delivery system, Illinois received a federal Preschool Development Grant Birth Through Five award from the Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Education. The overall purpose of the grant is to help Illinois improve the effectiveness of Illinois’s ECCE mixed-delivery system by executing several activities (see sidebar), including a statewide needs assessment on the availability and quality of existing ECCE programs in Illinois. Illinois contracted with the American Institutes for Research (AIR) to lead the statewide needs assessment, as well as Northern Illinois University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for topic areas. This brief will provide an overview of the needs assessment methods and findings. (author abstract)
