ExceleRate Illinois ExceleRate Illinois is the state’s new, comprehensive quality rating and improvement system for early learning and development programs such as licensed child care centers, Preschool for All and Head Start programs. It will help providers accelerate excellence and prepare Illinois children for success in school and in life. ExceleRate Illinois provides parents with information to choose the best program for their child and more information about their child’s development when s/he enters kindergarten. Communities will have better ways to connect at-risk families to programs they need to give their children a healthy start.
ExceleRate Illinois is unique because it’s centered on whole child development; focused on each type of provider and recognizes quality improvements through Quality Circles.
Head Start and Early Head Start Established in 1965, Head Start promotes school readiness for children, ages three to five, in low-income families nd enhances children’s social and cognitive development by offering educational, nutritional, health, social and other services. Programs actively engage parents in their children's learning and help them make progress toward their own educational, literacy and employment goals. Parents play an important role in the administration of local Head Start programs.
Early Head Start (EHS), launched in 1995, provides support to low-income infants, toddlers, pregnant women and their families. EHS programs enhance children's physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development; help pregnant women access comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care; support parents' efforts to fulfill their parental roles; and help parents move toward self-sufficiency.

Home Visiting - Strong Foundations Partnership With a 30-year history as an innovator in the implementation of home visiting services, Illinois offers home visiting services in more than 200 sites, through a combination of federal, state, local and private investments. In 2009, an estimated 20,000 families were served through home visiting programs in Illinois. These efforts are supported by well-established collaborative infrastructure at the state and community levels.
The OECD in coordination with the HVTF recently applied for multiple Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHVP) grants, which are part of the Affordable Care Act, worth a possible $20 million over four years from the federal government to continue to build and expand evidence based home visiting programs.
Home Visiting Task Force In 2008, the ELC created the Home Visiting Task Force (HVTF) under its auspices to support the development of one coordinated, high-quality system of home visiting programs that reaches all at-risk children under five years of age. The long-term goals of the Task Force are to expand access to evidence-based home visiting programs for all at-risk children; improve the quality of home visiting services; and increase coordination at the state and local levels. The Task Force is comprised of a diverse group of stakeholders, including representatives from national home visiting models, statewide administering agencies, program providers, researchers, parents, and advocates. The HVTF, led by its Executive Committee, serves as the convening, policy-setting, and decision-making body for the Strong Foundations Partnership
About Us The Governor’s Office of Early Childhood Development (OECD) leads the state’s initiatives to create an integrated system of quality, early learning and development programs to help give all Illinois children a strong educational foundation before they begin kindergarten.
Research shows that children with a solid educational foundation in their first five years are significantly more likely to be successful in school, college, career and life. Governor Quinn created the Office of Early Childhood Development in 2009 to focus the state’s efforts and maximize its investment in early learning programs. Quality, early childhood education is a cost-effective strategy to promote growth. Every dollar invested in early education saves $7 in special education, public assistance, corrections and lost taxes.
OECD activities:
· Manage the Early Learning Council, a public private partnership that helps improve the lives of Illinois children and families
· Oversee ExceleRate Illinois, the new Quality Rating and Improvement System for early learning and development programs
· Oversee the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program, including pilot projects on Coordinated Intake and Community Systems Development
· Convene and collaborate with state agencies focused on children and families (such as Illinois Department of Human Services, Illinois State Board of Education) to address common issues
· Strengthen training and supports for early learning workforce
· Serve as a resource for parents, families and child care providers
· Direct the Early Learning Challenge and Innovation Zones
· Gather data to inform policymaking
