Regulatory Recommendations
For the last seven months over 90 early childhood professionals have
been working to revise and improve upon the State of Ohio licensing
system through a thorough review of all statute and rules to streamline
the overall system, with a core focus on ESSENTIAL health, safety and
developmentally appropriate practices in all regulated settings.
The work was organized into seven writing teams and a leadership
team. To read more on the
regulatory review process, please click

We have now
completed the public feedback process and are reviewing the responses. Should you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact Alicia Leatherman at

Early experiences last a lifetime.
It's Why...
Ohio, with support from the National Build
Initiative, is striving to implement a comprehensive, well-integrated
early childhood system in Ohio that provides:
-
Early care and education
opportunities in nurturing environments where children can
learn what they need to succeed in school and life.
-
Comprehensive health services
that meet children’s vision, hearing, nutrition, behavioral,
and oral health as well as medical health needs.
-
Early identification, assessment
and appropriate services for children with special health
care needs, disabilities, or developmental delays
-
Economic and parenting supports to ensure children have
nurturing and stable relationships with caring adults.
