Ways to Act Now:

Save Child Care Now

Congress must pass FY2025 appropriations as quickly as possible and retain the increased Early Childhood Education funding in the Senate proposal. Your BIG VOICE deserves to be heard as legislators make decisions that will impact the lives of young children and families across Ohio.

Tell Congress

Support the Workforce of Today and Tomorrow

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 is one that prioritizes its children and recognizes the economic benefits of investing in their early years.

Advisory Council

Engage with Policymakers

Let the policymakers who represent you know that early childhood policies are important and call for action. Our goals cannot be achieved without strong advocates like you who interact with families every day and who are best equipped to communicate the needs of our early education and health care systems to policymakers.

Join Family Action Network

Every family deserves to be heard, but too often families aren't included in the policymaking process that deeply affects their lives and the lives of their young children. To help elevate the voices of Ohio parents and families in the policymaking process, Groundwork Ohio is building a statewide Family Action Network.
