Cleveland Connects: Moving Ohio's Quality Pre-K Program Forward

Quality early childhood takes great teachers, engaged parents and a community committed to providing the necessary resources. In other words: money. That was all part of our discussion on April 4 during Cleveland Connects: The First 2,000 Days here at the Ideacenter at Playhouse Square.  

Cleveland Connects is a yearlong partnership we have with the Plain Dealer and cleveland-dot-com and sponsored by PNC,  focusing on the First 2000 Days of life.
