Pritzker announces more financial assistance for families seeking childcare
By Kennedy Hayes
Pritzker says 80-percent of families will pay less for childcare under the new changes. When I took office, I said that we are aiming to make Illinois the best state in the nation for families raising young children. Today, I’m proud to announce another important step in that direction. We are making a series of new investments to make childcare more affordable for Illinois families, and deliver more dollars to providers, Pritzker said in a statement. We’re ensuring quality childcare is accessible for more people – allowing more people to return to work without worry about where their kids will go during the day and helping Illinois’ childcare network rebuild after the last 16 months.
