A Message from Board Leadership

Dear CPP Supporters:

As we reflect on the sixth year of the Cincinnati Preschool Promise, there is cause to celebrate our successes. We will take the learning from the last six years to tackle the challenges and continue to do what we know works.

High-quality preschool makes a difference for children, families, educators, and communities. We have kept our promise to prepare our youngest learners for a lifetime of success. That means measurable improvements during preschool, being developmentally on track, consistent attendance, and family engagement that contributes to a healthy, happy kindergartener ready to learn.

As one of only 52 communities nationwide that have made a significant voterapproved investment in early childhood education, Cincinnati is positioned to make a difference for generations of children. Our early and ongoing support to make preschool equitable, affordable, and accessible is critical. We know neighborhoods throughout Cincinnati need more seats to provide a high-quality education for every child and family that needs to be connected to the best preschool sites for them.

This annual report shows we are working hard to address these needs. Today’s investment of resources, time, and expertise in high-quality preschool has an immeasurable return. We will persist in making progress on our 2022-2025 Strategic Plan. Creating a solid foundation for every child remains our focus. We will continue to deliver on our mission, which has kept the promise to ensure every Cincinnati child has access to a high-quality preschool education.

We appreciate your ongoing interest and involvement. We can only do this important work with your support!

Sincerely,

Chara Fisher Jackson Cincinnati Preschool Promise Executive Director & CEO
