New Groundwork Ohio Resource: The Business Case for Quality Child Care
Access to quality child care is an economic issue. Investing in quality early childhood education and expanding access to publicly funded child care will help more Ohioans enter and remain in the workforce, addressing our workforce challenges and supporting Ohio's business community.
These investments also improve outcomes for our youngest Ohioans—our children and grandchildren—ensuring our workforce of tomorrow is prepared for kindergarten and ready to thrive, now and in the future.
This week, Groundwork Ohio published a new resource on why investing in quality early childhood education is a 21st century workforce, business, and economic issue. Our resource includes testimonials from Ohio business leaders, compelling research and data, and ways for members of the business community to lean in and take action.
