CINCINNATI PRESCHOOL PROMISE LLC

Cost of quality:the cost of quality program is focused on improving the quality of preschool education at community providers by improving lead teacher retention and training, both of which have been shown to improve outcomes for preschool students. The program has two grants meant to benefit teachers working at community providers who are eligible for tuition assistance (teacher promise grants, tpg, and teacher advancement stipends, tas) and one grant for those working at community providers eligible for quality improvement (staff support funds, ssf). Tpg, pays a monthly stipend directly to qualifying lead preschool teachers who stay in that role at their current provider. Tas, focuses on one-time payments to lead preschool teachers who achieve certain educational milestones. Ssf provide restricted grants to community providers, the funds of which may only be used to increase wages, benefits, or training for their preschool teachers.
