ILLINOIS STATE NEWS BRIEF (06/26/2024)(SPRINGFIELD) Governor J.B. Pritzker signed legislation yesterday creating a new cabinet-level state agency dedicated to early childhood education and development. The new Department of Early Childhood, which will become operational in July 2026, will take over programs currently housed across three state agencies, including funding for preschool programs, child care centers, and the licensing of day care centers.
