    Update for Ohio Providers: Grow Up Great Resources; Informational and Fun Webinars

    April 21, 2020

    Here’s a quick snapshot of the latest resources and information we have today, April 21, 2020.

    All Programs

    Child Care Not Impacted by State’s School Closing Announcement
    Gov. DeWine announced yesterday that the state’s school systems will remain closed for the rest of the 2019-20 school year. This announcement has no connection to the reopening of child care programs throughout the state. ODJFS is taking the lead in creating a plan for reopening and we will continue to keep you updated as details of that plan are released.
