Type B & A In-Home Day Care

What is Covered by the Licensing Law In Ohio?

• Ohio Law defines "child day care" as administering to the needs of children outside of school hours by persons other than their parents or guardians on a less than twenty four hour basis. Some types of child care must be regulated in Ohio; other types of child care may operate without a license.


• Some examples of programs which do not require licensure: care provided in a child's own home; programs which operate two weeks or less a year; programs where parents remain on the premises (unless at the parent's employment site); specialized training in specific subjects, such as art, drama, dance, swimming, etc. programs which operate one day a week for no more than six hours.
