Care Providers are certified or licensed to meet minimum requirements as required by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Your selection should be made after interviewing the provider, seeing how the provider interacts with children in their care, and determining how children who need care interact with the staff. Lorain County Department of Job and Family Services does not recommend, suggest or endorse any provider listed.
For an explanation of the Lorain County certification process, a provider screening, police background checks, references, home inspection, required training, (health & safety course, CPR, etc.) See the provider section of this website.
