“Women shouldn’t have to choose b/t having a career & having children. Affordable, accessible, high-quality #childcare is key to being able to juggle the demands of work & parenting,” said Melissa Lagowski, Founder/CEO, @BigBuzzIG in @ReadyNationIL blog. tinyurl.com/2cpvr2aw

IL law enforcement leaders join the call for increasing #EarlyIntervention therapies by $40M in the next state budget, to more quickly reach infants & toddlers experiencing developmental disabilities—a top priority for FY25. #twill tinyurl.com/bdfrucsj
"#Childcare is essential in developing our talent pipeline," noted Lauren Merritt, ED, @macombchamber in a ReadyNation IL meeting with Rep. Norine Hammond. We thank them both for a great discussion on connections between business success and #earlychildhood investments. #twill

As the IL legislature weighs FY25 budget priorities, ReadyNation member David Sabathne of the Western DuPage Chamber of Commerce provided testimony on key #earlychildhood investments: #childcare, Early Intervention, home visiting, & better supporting the ECE workforce.
Our IL business leaders know: #Earlychildhood programs also strengthen current workforce stability & productivity, prepare the workforce of the future, & bolster our entire economy. We call on state leaders to approve an FY25 budget reflecting that! #twill

When workers experience #childcare issues, businesses struggle, says @SmlBizMajority. New poll shows many small businesses see lower productivity (51%), curtail hours (44%), lose revenue (31%), & must hire temps (28%) due to worker childcare issues. #twill tinyurl.com/26pkm7up
A new federal agreement will send $23.8m more to IL for #childcare, one step towards strengthening supports for working parents & our economy. ReadyNation applauds this move and we continue to press for greater resources at the federal & state levels. tinyurl.com/3zyrrweu
If it's simpler for working parents, it's better for our workforce & their employers. Bela Moté of @TheCRCL writes of IL's proposed transition to a single state agency overseeing core #earlychildhood programs — an effort our business leaders back. #twill tinyurl.com/mpj8hth8
