is the Family Information Network of Ohio?
The Family Information Network of Ohio (FINofOhio)
is a statewide parent network designed to keep family perspectives at the
forefront of Ohio’s Help Me Grow (HMG) system by offering support through
information and education to families of young children and the
professionals who serve them.
