Ohio's Step Up To Quality Guidelines

There have been several recent changes to Ohio’s Step Up to Quality (SUTQ) guidelines. These guidelines are administered by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Ohio Department of Education to recognize and promote learning and development standards that exceed licensing health and safety regulations. CPP will continue to require community preschool programs to maintain a 3, 4, or 5-star SUTQ rating to receive Tuition Assistance payments for eligible, approved preschoolers. If you have any questions, please contact Florence Malone: fmalone@cincy-promise.org

Groundwork Ohio focuses on the time when children’s experiences and environments most influence their health, development, and life trajectory: from birth to age 5. They work to ensure that every baby, toddler, and young child in Ohio has the resources and opportunities for a strong start. They do this through research, public policy and community collaboration.

Stay in the know about public policy and advocacy opportunities by visiting their website at groundworkohio.org or signing up for their newsletter.

The Cincinnati Preschool Promise wants to hear from you as we refine the strategies that will drive our 2022-2025 Strategic Plan. One of our goals is to ensure that every family has a successful preschool experience that helps prepare their child for kindergarten and beyond. Consistent attendance and a high-quality preschool have been identified as contributing factors to kindergarten readiness. As we design strategies to support and promote attendance, we need your input.
