Grant Overview

Ohio's faith-based child care services face growing demand, driven by the state's increasing workforce participation rates among low-income families. With 35% of Ohio's children under age 6 living in households where all parents work, affordable child care is essential. Ohio's Rural-Urban Child Care Divide: The state's rural counties experience significant child care deserts, with 60% fewer child care providers per capita compared to urban areas. Faith-based organizations are well-positioned to address this gap. Eligibility Criteria for Ohio Applicants: Faith-based child care providers in Ohio are eligible to apply. Applications will be evaluated based on their ability to demonstrate financial need, capacity to deliver high-quality child care, and commitment to serving low-income families. Ohio's child care funding prioritizes providers that serve families in the state's Appalachian region, where poverty rates exceed national averages. How Funding Supports Ohio's Faith-Based Providers: Funding will support training, resources, and infrastructure enhancements to improve child care service delivery. Providers will receive support to enhance their staff qualifications, develop curricula, and improve facilities. Unlike Michigan, Ohio's initiative requires applicants to demonstrate existing partnerships with local workforce development organizations. Ohio's Economic Context: The state's major industries, including manufacturing and healthcare, rely heavily on a stable child care infrastructure to support workforce participation. With 14% of Ohio's workforce employed in manufacturing, reliable child care is essential for maintaining economic productivity. Ohio's demographic trends, including an aging population and increasing diversity, require child care providers to adapt to changing family needs. The state's transportation infrastructure, including its extensive network of highways, can both facilitate and hinder access to child care services, depending on the availability of public transportation. By supporting faith-based child care providers, the initiative addresses Ohio's unique child care challenges while leveraging existing community infrastructure. With 24% of Ohio's population identifying as Catholic, Protestant, or other Christian denominations, faith-based organizations play a significant role in shaping community child care practices.
