Report on  \nEARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION GRANTS  \nFISCAL YEAR 2022  \nOffice of Early Learning and School Readiness | December 2022  \nEarly Childhood Education (ECE) programs are an important investment in Ohio’s youngest learners. Ohio has worked to increase the availability of high-quality early learning programs for preschool children by providing the Early Childhood Education grants. Funded programs deliver high-quality, comprehensive learning environments focused on healthy development and intellectual, social and emotional success. Research is clear: children who participate in high-quality early learning programs begin school better prepared for educational success.  \nEARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PROGRAMS AT A GLANCE  \nFY 22 Programs  \nNumber of state-funded grantees: 350  \nNumber of site locations: 750  \nTotal state funding: $72,608,000  \nState-funded per-child amount: $4,000  \nTotal number of spaces funded to serve children: 18,152  \nIn FiscalYear 2022 (July 1, 2021-June 30, 2022), 350 Early Childhood Education Grant-funded programs served 16,732 children because of the $72,608,000 investment in state funding. These grantees included public school districts, educational service centers, joint vocational schools, community schools, chartered nonpublic schools and community-based child care providers who earned 3-, 4-or 5-star ratings in Ohio’s quality rating system, Step UpTo Quality.  \nTEACHER CREDENTIALS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT  \nEarly Childhood Education programs must meet the teacher credential requirements in early childhood education or a field approved by the Ohio Department of Education. Teachers in Early Childhood Education programs are required to complete 20 hours of professional development every two years to increase their knowledge of current best practices to support children’s learning.  \nThe chart illustrates the highest degrees achieved by lead teachers in all Early Childhood Education programs.  \nAssociate degree Bachelor’s degree Master’s degree  \n\n| \u003Cbr>10.5% |  | 35. | 43.9\u003Cbr>1% | % |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\n0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60%  \n*Programs participating in Step Up To Quality can meet teacher credential requirements by using Ohio’s Career Pathways in lieu of having associate or bachelor’s degrees. The Career Pathways model recognizes a professional’s years of experience, ongoing professional development and credentials in assigning a Career Pathways level. Level 3 and above are recognized in highly-rated programs.  \nPage 2 | Annual Report on Early Childhood Education Grants | December 2022  \nSTEP UP TO QUALITY Sharing Success Stories  \nStep UpTo Quality is Ohio’s tiered quality rating and improvement system for early learning and development programs. The purpose of the five-star system is to improve the quality of  \nearly learning and development programs by serving as a roadmap for continuous improvement  \nPlease note that in order to maintain confidentiality, the names of children and family members have been changed.  \nParticipant Family Experience: “As a mom of two little boys who have attended Preschool at Green Elementary with Miss Amy Evans, I don’t have enough words to express how wonderful that class is and the impression it has made on both my boys and our family.
