ELI (Early Learning Initiative)

Your 3, 4, or 5 year old may be eligible for Ohio’s ELI Program. Eligibility is determined by the child’s age and income and is done through the office of ODJFS. ELI is also available for children receiving child-only OWF assistance. The program allows OWF recipients to participate in the program regardless of caretaker income. As the caretaker your income or employment status will NOT be counted against you when determining eligibility.

ELI is a full-day full-year program and is open from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. We currently have 3 classrooms - 2 are located at the new Child Development Center on the Ohio University-Chillicothe campus, and 1 is located at the Carver Community Center.

Applications can be picked up at the Child Development Center 101 University Dr.  Or by contacting Denise Sanford 740-772-7360 ext. 119
