Prevention Initiative
The Prevention Initiative for Programs Offering Coordinated Services to At Risk Children and Their Families (birth to three) is a program funded through the Early Childhood Block Grant (ECBG) in the State of Illinois.
Prevention Initiative programs offer coordinated services for expecting parents and families with at-risk children ages birth to 3 years. The aim of Prevention Initiative is to provide early, continuous, intensive and comprehensive child development and family support services to help families build a strong foundation for learning to prepare children for later school success.

IECAM does not provide data on the number of children served in Prevention Initiative or Parental Training programs. Because of changes in the funding of continuing and new Prevention Initiative programs, and continuing Parental Training programs, that are related to the implementation of the Preschool for All Children program, the data cannot be presented with sufficient accuracy. ISBE is revising the data reporting for Prevention Initiative and Parental Training. Data will be made available on IECAM in the near future.
For current data on Prevention Initiative and Parental Training, or for more information, contact the ISBE Early Childhood Division at 217-524-4835.
