Early education plays a crucial role in determining high school graduation rates and preparing students for college or the workforce. As a key focus area for GCF, we are dedicated to establishing strong partnerships with high-quality early education program providers like 4C for Children, Cincinnati Preschool Promise, Learning Grove and others to ensure student access to excellent educators and early education programs.

How does access to early childhood education shape a child’s future? Join us as we dive into the research. As we strive to build a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, education, an area that GCF has long championed, will continue to be a key focus.
