COLUMBUS — Governor Mike DeWine announced the awarding of a $48 million grant for children in kindergarten. According to a recent press release, the monies will be granted to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services over the next three years.
The grant, also known as the preschool development grant, will help those from birth to five years old with early childhood education. DeWine weighed in.
“The largest group of Ohioans living in poverty are children aged five and under,” said DeWine in a recent press release. “This grant allows Ohio to better serve these children by creating stronger cross-program coordination and higher quality programming in publicly funded childcare, public preschools, early intervention and home visiting that form a strong foundation for successful learning.”
