About OH-PIN
OH-PIN is a website that provides essential parent information related to early education and care of children birth through age six. The information and resources are provided by several partnering state agencies and early childhood associations. A list of participating partners can be found by clicking on "Partner Agencies" in the top menu.
OH-PIN is funded and managed by the Head Start State Collaboration Office and administered by the Ohio Department of Education, the Center for Students, Families and Communities, and the Office of Early Learning and School Readiness. The Head Start Collaboration Office is funded by a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The purpose of the office is to coordinate federal, state, and local policy to support an efficient and effective early care and education system. The office promotes and facilitates professional development and collaborative activities with key state departments and early childhood agencies, associations, and advocacy groups.
The OH-PIN web site is hosted and maintained by the Early Childhood Quality Network (Q-Net), at The Ohio State University.
