The purpose of the collaboration project is to create a visible collaborative presence at the state level that can assist in the development of significant, multi-agency and public-private partnerships. The project coordinates federal, state and local policy to support an efficient, effective and coordinated early care and education system within a continuous improvement model by facilitating activities with the governor’s office, key state departments and early childhood agencies, associations and advocacy groups.
Funding supports the Head Start community, the child care community and state agencies by disseminating information, assisting with data collection and promoting partnerships between Head Start and child care providers. The project also funds professional development activities, provides resources to the early childhood community and supports a parent information Web site, www.oh-pin.org. The Parent Information Network provides essential early care and education information to parents of young children from birth to age 6.
