More than 26,000 children and families across all 88 Ohio counties rely on Head Start.
As federal officials consider significant changes to Head Start standards, Ohio organizations are asking our members of Congress to listen to parents and providers and protect what works for children and families.

We sent a sign-on letter to Ohio's full congressional delegation this week, outlining our concerns about the proposed changes to the Head Start Program Performance Standards & what these changes could mean for children, families & programs in all 88 Ohio counties.

Proposed federal changes to Head Start could weaken critical health, safety & quality standards that Ohio children & families rely on every day. Public comment is open through 10/6.

Congress is making decisions right now about funding for early learning, child care, and family supports—and those decisions will impact children during the most critical years of development.
Programs like Head Start, CCDBG, WIC, and home visiting help families access care, support healthy development, and strengthen our economy.
📣 Take action today. Tell your Members of Congress to invest in early childhood.
