Child Development Council of Franklin County, Inc. (CDCFC) is a nonprofit organization funded by the U.S. Office of Head Start. Since 1985, CDCFC has provided comprehensive early education and development services to income-eligible Head Start preschool children, ages 3-5, and their families. An Early Head Start program was added in spring 2007, to serve pregnant women and children ages 0-3.

We prepare children for success in kindergarten and beyond, and provide families with tools for overall success. Our programs are FREE for those who qualify under federal poverty guidelines; for others, Child Care Subsidy (formerly Title XX) or private pay options are also available. Currently, CDCFC provides services to more than 2,500 low-income children and their families at over 60 locations throughout Franklin County. Over the years, we have enriched the lives of countless children and families.

CDCFC’s work in the community is enhanced through our diverse collaborations with Columbus area organizations, including Capital University, City of Columbus – Recreation and Parks and Columbus City Schools, to name a few. We are governed by a diverse Board of Trustees, consisting of Franklin County corporate and community leaders; a Parent Policy Council, comprised of 51% active Head Start parents and community representatives; and, long-time President & CEO Mattie B. James, who also founded the organization. CDCFC has more than 375 full and part-time employees.
