Early Care & Education Division Services:

• Family Services
• Provider Services
• Community Support Services

Our Mission: The COAD ECE Division's mission is to advocate and support the improvement and accessibility of care and education services for children and those who care for them.

Our Vision: The COAD ECE Division will be the vehicle for all children to have a rewarding childhood in safe and enriching environments by informing families, empowering qualified caregivers, and building a supportive community.

About Us: Since 1993 COAD's Early Care and Education Division has been the Appalachian region's information hub for child care and education services for children. Helping parents choose child care, and training providers to open and operate a child care business is our work. COAD ECE programs provide high quality services to a variety of child care related consumer groups. COAD's child care referral services were the first in Ohio to be nationally recognized as 'Quality Assured' by the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies. This designation, which COAD has upheld since 2002, is proof that COAD provides families the best services available to help them seek and choose child care.
