Ready to Learn, OCF's early childhood program, supports an array of critical developmental areas.

We help parents evolve into confident and effective teachers to their children. Our programs encourage child care workers to learn valuable skills and techniques. And we continually support young children in becoming ready for success in school.

From improving child care throughout the state to matching the formidable talents of the baby boom generation with the needs of the newest generation of Oregonians, our early childhood programs include:

• Scholarships for early childhood training and education
• Grant programs for early literacy and parenting
• Child care improvements
• Research on early childhood issues
• Educational forums
• Baby boomers in early childhood projects
