Illinois Early Learning Project (2020-current)



As a content creator at Illinois Early Learning (IEL), I create blogs, podcasts, tipsheets, Q&As, resource lists, and more to help Illinois families and early childhood educators better understand child development and early learning.

The Illinois Early Learning Project Web site is a source of evidence-based, reliable information on early care and education for families, caregivers, and teachers of young children in Illinois.

IEL is funded by the Illinois State Board of Education.
