Mission Statement
To transform the lives of children by supporting, empowering, and advocating for the adults who make the biggest impact on their lives - their parents, caregivers, and teachers.
About This Cause
Action for Children (AFC) began delivering early childhood education (ECE) services to the central Ohio region in 1972. For more than 50 years, AFC has worked to transform the lives of children during their first 2,000 days of life when 90% of brain development occurs. This is achieved by supporting, empowering, and advocating for the adults who make the biggest impact on children’s lives–their parents, caregivers and teachers. When children are nurtured by strong families and vibrant communities and when they have access to quality early learning experiences, they are better prepared for success in school and in life. To support this vital vision, and as the local Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agency serving central Ohio, Action for Children's services include: free child care referrals and access to community resources for parents and families; parenting education classes, seminars and workshops; professional development, coaching, and technical assistance for early childhood programs and practitioners; and child care information, resources and data for economic development, workforce development, public awareness and advocacy. AFC's service area (SDA9) includes Franklin County, Delaware, Fairfield, Licking, Madison, Pickaway, and Union Counties.
