Region 32 on the Radio!

September 1, 2023

The Region 32 Birth to Five Illinois Team was interviewed by FOUR local radio stations about the Region 32 Early Childhood Needs Assessment and what local families in Iroquois and Kankakee Counties say they need so their children can thrive, both now and in the future.

Huge thanks to x Country 106.5 WXNU, WVLI, WKAN, and WGFA Radio for taking the time to talk with Liz Gibson, Regional Council Manager, and Kennilyn Hickory, Family & Community Engagement Specialist, about the strengths of Region 32 and the community’s recommendations for improving access to Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) programs and services in the area.
