Cincinnati Preschool Promise: “Where Every Kid Has Access to a High-Quality Preschool”Cincinnati, OH, City Council Member Greg Landsman is a former public schoolteacher and a staunch advocate for families in southwest Ohio. Prior to joining the city council, Landsman served as the executive director of Cincinnati’s Strive Partnership where he spearheaded an effort to create a voter-approved children’s fund that provides $15 million per year to support preschool services for the city’s 3- and 4-year-olds. This “first-in-the-nation” investment passed in 2016 with the largest margin of victory in the history of school levies in Cincinnati and voters reauthorized the fund in 2020. Since its first authorization in 2016, Cincinnati Preschool Promise has helped 200 community-based preschool providers improve their program quality ratings and has provided 3,000 families with preschool tuition assistance.We spoke with Council Member Landsman about his previous work with Cincinnati Preschool Promise and his career advocating for working families.Filed under:Early Childhood, Advocates/Intermediaries, Policymakers/Agency Leaders, Video, Voter-Approved Children’s FundsFiled under:Early Childhood, Advocates/Intermediaries, Policymakers/Agency Leaders, Video, Voter-Approved Children’s FundsMore Resources Course Cost Modeling 101: Getting Real About the True Costs of Infant and Toddler Care Learn how to build a cost model that supports child care for children from birth to age 3.
