Building on the success of OH’s Race to the Top - Early Learning Challenge Grant (ELCG) and the initial preschool development grant (PDG) grant, OH is requesting $16 million each year to advance the state’s early childhood mixed delivery system. OH will make measurable progress toward advancing the vision, Growing Ohio’s Future is creating physically and emotionally strong kids who are safe and ready for kindergarten. To advance this vision, OH will: (1) Increase access to quality ECCE programs for OH’s children, especially those with economic, academic, or social risks; (2) Ensure OH families have the information to make informed choices about where their child attends ECCE and easier access to services through streamlined applications; and (3) Recruit and retain OH’s ECCE workforce with additional wage and infrastructure supports.
