4C for Children is the region’s pioneering leader, advocate and resource for high-quality early childhood education and care.

4C was founded in 1972 by a coalition of five agencies and funders committed to ensuring the quality, effectiveness and availability of early childhood learning and care in the Greater Cincinnati area.

What They Do

As the designated child care resource and referral agency for this region, 4C is the hub of information on early care and education programs and the largest provider of training and technical assistance for early childhood care-givers and teachers. 4C assists families, child-care centers, family child care providers and employers.

For parents, they:

  • offer information on selecting quality child care and the new “star-rating systems” now operating in both Ohio and Kentucky.
  • operate the only area child care resource and referral service to assist in finding child care. (4C is a Child Care Aware® Quality Assured Consumer Education Referral Service)
  • maintain a database of more than 2,600 child-care options in the service delivery area including licensed child-care centers, preschools, school-age child-care programs, and 4C-registered family child-care homes

For the community, they:

  • advocate on behalf of children and families on relevant public policy issues
  • participate in community initiates that support children and families
  • gather and provide information on the needs of families and children
  • maintain a data base on the demand and supply of child care and early education

For child care providers, they:

  • provide regular training and technical assistance
  • encourage professional development through our college-accredited Institute for Early Childhood Excellence
  • offer assistance to individuals who want to start a center-based program
  • sponsor the USDA reimbursement program for serving nutritious meals to children in care
  • recruit individuals interested in becoming family child-care providers

For employers, we:

  • provide enhanced resource and referral services to the employees of participating companies
  • facilitate on-site parenting workshops for employees of participating companies
  • consult with employers on work and family issues such as sick child care and parental leave.
Nannies, I hope that you enjoy this resource as much as I did!
