The Ohio Preschool Program (OPP), formerly known as the Early Childhood Education (ECE) Grant, is an important way Ohio invests in its youngest learners. The Ohio Preschool Program provides children with strong early learning experiences that help them succeed in kindergarten. Through this state-funded program, preschool-aged children across Ohio receive high-quality early learning services delivered by qualified early childhood education providers. Programs participating in OPP must provide learning environments that support children’s academic, social, emotional, and physical development.
