Original coverage in the Hardin County Independent (print-only).

Finding resources in Edwards, Gallatin, Hamilton, Hardin, Pope, Saline, Wabash, Wayne, and White counties is a struggle. This year, the Birth to Five Illinois Team and Council members working in these counties collaborated with SI Families to create and maintain an online Resource Guide to help families find available services.. To see the Resource Guide, visit: https://www.sifamilies.org/in-region-20.html

More details are in a new Birth to Five Illinois report, Changes in Early Childhood: www.birthtofiveil.com/region20/#report

Birth to Five Illinois works in every community in the State to:

  • Continually assess the Early Childhood programs available in each Region.

  • Understand what is available versus what local families say their children need.

  • Bring together community members and civic leaders to bridge the gap between what exists and what families need.
