Each week, more than 82,000 child care professionals across the state care for and educate Ohio’s youngest children while providing critical support for working parents.
Child care professionals are the backbone of our state’s economy—the workforce behind the workforce. By allowing parents to work so they can provide financially for their families and our future workforce, these professionals support children’s development during the most critical years of brain growth—before a child enters kindergarten.
