Early Childhood Education
Click here for a fact sheet regarding Early Childhood Education
(ECE)
State funding for the Early Childhood Education (entitlement) and Early
Childhood Education (formerly public preschool) programs is designated for
school districts to provide education and comprehensive services for children of
income-eligible families. Children eligible for these services must be at least
age 3 and not yet age-eligible for kindergarten. Districts receive funding to
serve families up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level.

Children of families with an income at 100 percent or below the
federal poverty level attend tuition free. Children of families with an income
between 101 and 200 percent of the federal poverty level attend based on a
sliding fee scale. Once a program has reached the funded number and if space
permits, children of families earning more than 200 percent of the federal
poverty level may be served on a tuition-paying basis.
A district may self operate or may contract with a Head Start
agency, a chartered nonpublic school or a licenses child care provider to
provide Early Childhood Education Services
The Ohio Department of Education's Office of Early Learning and School Readiness
(OELSR) ensures that all children enrolled in ECE and other programs under its
jurisdiction are provided quality learning in a safe environment. Participants
are required to achieve quality programming by involving the local community and
responding to their needs. In this way, programs focus on the children and the
families being served and are culturally sensitive to their unique needs.
