Where do infants and toddlers fit in to the effort?
groundWork calls for an increase in state funding for high quality early care and education for children ages birth to six, including increased funding for children ages birth to three in high-quality early care settings. Additionally, Ohio has several health and behavioral health care programs for infants and toddlers that may benefit from groundWork. Examples of such programs include the Access to Better Care (ABC) Initiative, Help Me Grow, the Early Childhood Mental Health Initiatve, and the Nurse-Family Partnership.
