It's Why...

The Build Initiative is working 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.
