The Countdown is On!

A crucial milestone for Ohio’s children is quickly approaching: the July 1, 2020, Step Up To Quality deadline. If you are a child care and early learning provider who accepts public funding you are required to have at least one star by this date, representing the quality you already provide to children.

Every child matters to us, so everything we do before July 1, 2020 matters, too. Action for Children is working to help you attain, maintain, and increase your SUTQ rating.

Our Progress So Far:

Action for Children is actively working to engage with every provider in Central Ohio that accepts public funding for children in their care. Our Service Delivery Area (SDA 9) includes Franklin, Licking, Madison, Delaware, Pickaway, Union and Fairfield counties.
