ABOUT
All Our Kids (AOK) Networks are community-based collaborations that include representatives from all sectors who share a common interest in helping families with young children get the best start in life. In order to accomplish this, families need strong communities where everyone is coming together to collaborate towards this common goal.
The All Our Kids Early Childhood Networks initiative (AOK Networks) was launched in 1999. This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Illinois Department of Human Services Division of Early Childhood and Division of Family and Community Services, the Maternal Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting program (MIECHV), Illinois State Board of Education, local health departments, and local agencies serving pregnant women, children birth to five and their parent/caregivers. It is the most comprehensive, long-standing, community-based systems development initiative in the State of Illinois. Click here to learn more.
