Ohio Healthy Programs
How Ohio Healthy Programs Works for Families
Ohio Healthy Programs (OHP) collaborates with early childcare and education (ECE) providers to promote families’ lifelong healthy habits through proper nutrition, physical activity, and education. Through their ECE providers, families can access valuable resources to help create a nurturing and healthy environment for their children. To achieve that goal, OHP supports professional development for early childcare providers, and family engagement to strengthen family units.
ECE providers who offer Ohio-approved OHP programs go above and beyond Ohio state licensing requirements for health education. These programs, which are available at no cost to Ohio ECE providers, show families and the community that these providers are dedicated to the health and wellness of the children they serve.
