Early Childhood System Supports
Advocacy
We educate and enable early childhood stakeholders to be a voice for protecting and advancing the health, education, and wellbeing of all young children in the county.
Workforce Support
High-quality, affordable child care and a strong infant and early childhood mental health workforce are essential to children’s development, family stability, and economic growth in Northeast Ohio, yet shortages, high costs, and workforce constraints limit access—prompting regional coalitions to advance policy, funding, and workforce solutions.

Cuyahoga County’s child care system brings together professionals, families, government, and nonprofits, with Invest in Children—through Starting Point—strengthening the sector by supporting educators, improving program quality and capacity, and helping families access safe, high-quality child care.
