Congress has until January 30 to pass a full-year spending bill that will shape child care and early learning for families across Ohio. Child care works—it supports working parents, strengthens our workforce, and helps children thrive.

Send a message to your Members of Congress urging them to pass the FY26 Labor–H bill and keep child care and early learning a priority.

Ohio needs an investment in early childhood education. Failing to invest in child care results in a signifcant loss of human and economic potential in the workforce. A stronger Ohio recognizes the economic benefits of investing in the early years.

​

Every family deserves to be heard, but too often families aren't included in the policymaking process that deeply affects their lives and their young children. Help elevate the voices of Ohio parents and families through our statewide network of families. 

We seek to connect people and organizations around the state to build unique coalitions of diverse stakeholders who share early childhood policy as a priority.
