Early
Childhood Cabinet
In March 2007, Governor Ted Strickland created, through
executive order, an Early Childhood Cabinet comprised of six
state agencies who currently oversee programs and services for
young children and their families.
The Vision
All Ohio children have access to high quality
early childhood experiences so that every child is socially,
emotionally, physically and intellectually prepared to use his
or her capabilities to succeed.
The
Mission
The Early
Childhood Cabinet will unite key state agencies around the common goal of promoting
school readiness by setting and coordinating state policy and
programs which serve Ohio’s children, prenatal to six years of
age. The agencies are:
-
Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug
Addiction Services (ODADAS)
-
Ohio Department of Education (ODE)
-
Ohio Department of Job and Family
Services (ODJFS)
-
Ohio Department of Health (ODH)
-
Ohio Department of Mental Health (ODMH)

Disabilities (ODDD)
