Thank you to Ohio’s child care heroes for providing safe, reliable care for working families! We applaud the providers who remain ready to do their jobs, so you can do yours! #ChildCareHeroes

Ohio’s child care providers are the heroes behind our workforce! Thank you for helping working families rest assured that their child is receiving safe, reliable care while they’re away. #ChildCareHeroes

Ohio’s child care providers have always protected children’s health and safety - and have gone above and beyond to provide exceptional, reliable care during the pandemic. THANK YOU CHILD CARE HEROES! #ChildCareHeroes

Hooray for our #ChildCareHeroes! During the past year, you have shown exceptional resilience and maintained the highest level of safety for the children in your care. On behalf of Ohio’s workforce, THANK YOU!

Act Now! Contact your Ohio Senators to show support for Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) and the early childhood and school-age workforce and to reconsider making changes to SUTQ in HB110. legislature.ohio.gov/legislators/di…

Ohio is a national leader in providing quality early childhood and school-age programming for children. Discontinuing state support & investments for SUTQ will condone the philosophy that “children who start behind, stay behind”. Please reconsider changes proposed in HB110.

Prohibiting the use of federal stimulus funding to support the early childhood and school-age workforce will intensify the inequities for children having access to quality programming. Contact your Ohio Senators to reconsider this restriction in HB110. legislature.ohio.gov/legislators/di…

You can help Ohio’s children! Contact your Ohio Senators to voice support for Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) and ask them to reconsider making changes to SUTQ in Sub HB 110. ohiosenate.gov/senators/distr…

To every child care provider who has shown resiliency, compassion and strength throughout the pandemic – thank you! Because of you, working families can continue to rest assured knowing their children are in good hands. #ChildCareHeroes

Step Up to Quality ensures that Ohio’s children in the care of licensed providers receive high-quality care that prepares them for kindergarten. Ohio Senate, please keep SUTQ goals in place to benefit Ohio’s children, families and our future workforce!

Simply providing basic care may give kids a place to stay while their families work, but can remove focus from their development and learning. Ohio Senate, please keep the focus on quality to prepare children for the best educational outcomes!

Sub HB 110 sacrifices quality measures, which will impact kindergarten-readiness. Ohio Senate, please reject the proposal to remove Step Up To Quality requirements in the best interest of Ohio’s children.

$1 invested in high quality care today results in $13 saved tomorrow. Ohio cannot afford to sacrifice quality care requirements. Ohio Senate, please reject Sub HB 110 and keep the focus on high quality care for the children who need it most!

With Step Up to Quality in place, licensed child care provides early learning, social-emotional development and a safe environment to prepare at-risk children for school entry. Ohio Senate, we need SUTQ for Ohio’s children and families - please reject Sub HB 110!

Placing restrictions on federal funding to support the child care providers will make it more difficult for children who need it most to have access to quality programming. Ohio Senate - please reject Sub HB 110!

SUTQ helps break the philosophy that “children who start behind, stay behind”. Ohio needs these requirements in place in the best interest of these children. Ohio Senate - please reject Sub HB 110!
