Groundwork Ohio | Laying a Strong Foundation for Ohio Infants and Toddlers
Mission: To serve 50,000 more Ohio infants and toddlers by 2023 and an additional 50,000 by 2025 in targeted, high-quality, evidence-based
early childhood education and health interventions that build a strong foundation for their healthy development from prenatal-to-age-three.
Vision: To make Ohio the best place to be a young child so that all infants and toddlers have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Guiding Principles:
• Equity: Race, rural geography, age, gender, and physical and intellectual ability, among other social factors, play a determinative role in
the gaps between children in poverty and their higher-income peers and these gaps emerge much earlier than state and federal policy
recognize.
• Data: We use data to determine needs, measure outcomes, and evaluate impact.
• Cross-System: We approach this work from a systems perspective, recognizing the whole child, to avoid the creation of or deepening of
silos and gaps among the many resources, programs, and services that prenatal-to-age-three systems require.
• Continuum of Support: We understand that prenatal-to-age-three interventions are the foundation of a strong continuum of services for
at-risk kids that support healthy development and learning throughout childhood and beyond.
• Collaboration: The State of Ohio has a vision for young children in Ohio and, through this work, we will promote a shared vision when
possible.
Strategy and Measurement Statement: Position the state of Ohio to craft, advance, and scale policies and programs that increase access to
high-quality infant and toddler services through the education and awareness of stakeholders including equipping state and local leaders with
the targeted support, tools, research, resources, and peer learning opportunities they need to craft, advance, and scale policies and programs
that increase access to high-quality infant/toddler services. Outcome measures will be based upon the impact of all education and awareness
efforts and their ability to meet the needs of state and local leaders in their efforts to develop, advance and achieve policy targets enumerated
in Impact Plan objectives.
Project Impact Statement: Implement a broad-based communications plan to educate and build awareness and understanding among local and
state stakeholders and influencers about the unique needs of infants and toddlers including policy strategies that respond to these needs with the
goal of achieving education and health policy targets that reflect the needs of at-risk infants and toddlers in the state of Ohio.
JB & MK PRITZKER FAMILY FOUNDATION | IMPACT PLAN | 11/12/2018Objective #1: Build a Comprehensive Early Childhood System that Reflects the Unique Needs of Infants & Toddlers
• Support thriving children and families through the development of a comprehensive early childhood system that defines and coordinates
leadership, recruits and engages stakeholders, finances strategically, enhances and aligns services, ensures accountability, and
implements continuous improvement strategies.
• Increase the footprint of Ohio’s early childhood system by serving 50,000 more infants and toddlers in evidenced-based interventions that
drive child education and health outcomes by 2023 and 100,000 by 2025.

Objective #2: Increase Access to High-Quality Infant and Toddler Early Care and Education
• Support the healthy development of infants, toddlers and their parents in the workforce by increasing access to and improving the quality
of early childhood education in Ohio. This means incrementally expanding the eligibility criteria from 130% of the Federal Poverty Level
(FPL) to 200% of the FPL and ensuring that all children accessing state funded early childhood education services participate in a quality
rated program that positions them for success early and drives later child outcomes. These policy changes would result in an additional
