CPP-Annual Report 2025- Final

2025 Annual Report

Our Impact In 2016 and 2020, the community came together to support a Cincinnati Public Schools levy that ensures our children receive the best start possible. Thanks to this overwhelming support, $15 million is invested in expanding access to quality preschool, and $33 million is dedicated to strengthening K–12 education annually. The Cincinnati Preschool Promise is powerful proof of what we can accomplish when we invest in our children’s future together.

In partnership with Linton Chamber Music and Peanut Butter & Jam Sessions, preschoolers explore music in fun, engaging ways that support social-emotional, language, literacy, and math development. Each year kicks off with the Back to School Jam—a community celebration with live music, educator networking, preschool enrollment, and our Smart Start Backpack giveaway.

Teddy the Turtle CPP’s new mascot reminds our youngest learners that preschool gives them the super powers needed to be ready for kindergarten. Teddy will connect with children, families, and communities to share the promise and benefits of quality preschool.
