Action for Children transforms the lives of children by supporting, empowering and advocating for the adults who make the biggest impact on children's lives—their parents, caregivers, and teachers. We were formed in 1972 as the child care referral agency of Central Ohio, but over time we have grown to be so much more. Today, our mission and programs are focused on making the most of the 2,000 days between a child's birth and their first day of kindergarten, when 85% of the brain is developed and so many physical, intellectual, and social foundations are laid for future success. Every day, every moment matters. Our services include: Information & Referral Services for Parents; Home visiting services to support kindergarten readiness; Family Asset Building –including parenting classes for fathers, parenting classes to support mothers, and more; Professional Development for Early Childhood Educators; Quality Improvement, Coaching, and Technical Assistance and so much more!
