The office of Rep. Lauren Underwood (IL-14) recently announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded Educare West DuPage $1,112,540 to strengthen their Early Head Start early education program.
Educare West DuPage is a part of a national network of Head Start providers working to ensure more children have access to high-quality early education.
"Early Head Start is one of the most successful federal anti-poverty programs that ensures young children have high-quality learning opportunities. I'm proud to support this program for families in our community, and am grateful to the dedicated teachers and staff who serve in Early Head Start classrooms," Underwood said. "I remain dedicated to advocating for the resources children and families in northern Illinois need to thrive."
