 Good morning from the River Radio newsroom. I'm Robert Teese. Beginning July 1st, Illinois will have a new state agency set to roll out over the next three years to handle all things early childhood development. Governor J.B. Pritzker said yesterday transferring early childhood services from three different state agencies into one will streamline the process for parents. The Department of Early Childhood, our first ever unified state agency dedicated to supporting Illinois' youngest children and their parents.
