CARES Program

The first few years of life are critical for a child’s physical, intellectual and social development, and JP Morgan Chase recognizes that fact. By sponsoring the Children Are Ready for Education and Success (CARES) program, Chase and Children’s Hunger Alliance play a vital role in preparing young children for kindergarten, a predictor of future academic achievement and overall success.

The Chase CARES Program was designed to help home childcare providers teach Ohio's Early Learning Content Standards to preschoolers. Teaching kits, delivered to Children’s Hunger Alliance sponsored providers’ homes, give caregivers a core set of age-appropriate activities centered on reading a book and easily expand into songs, recipes, games, physical activities, and field trips.
