Groundwork Ohio's Chief Operating & Policy Officer Provides Testimony at the Ohio Statehouse
This week, the Study Committee on Ohio's Publicly Funded Child Care and Step Up To Quality Program held a hearing at the Ohio Statehouse, inviting Groundwork Ohio and other child care experts to provide testimony. During the hearing, members of the committee heard from Lynanne Gutierrez, Groundwork Ohio's Chief Operating & Policy Officer, who shared the challenges families face, as well as why Ohio must invest more in quality child care and early learning opportunities.
We look forward to continuing to engage with the study committee as they move forward with their recommendations for Ohio's quality child care system and explore ways to ensure families and young children have access to quality, affordable care!

Update: Big Win for Rosemary's Babies Company
Groundwork Ohio is thrilled to share the exciting news that the Ohio legislature included $250,000 for Rosemary’s Babies Holloway House in the Capital Budget bill. HB 687 passed both chambers and is awaiting the Governor's signature. We are inspired by Rosemary Oglesby-Henry in getting this funding ask included in the bill draft, and we were thrilled for the chance to support these efforts during the request process. The funds will be used for the Holloway House and Resource Center and offer supportive housing to teen parents.
Rosemary Oglesby-Henry is the founder and CEO of Rosemary's Babies Company, a Cincinnati-based impact organization (501c3) committed to helping teen parents master the concepts of self-leadership to leave a legacy. Rosemary herself was a teen parent and has dedicated her life to changing the outlook for teen parents.
