This system will help you locate the type of child care program you prefer for your child. You can choose between the Classic Search or the Map-Based search, described below. You will be able to learn more about each facility, its licensing status, any additional accreditation or affiliation, its location, the number and ages of children served, and information about licensing inspections.
If you need more information about licensing, or if you have concerns about a specific center, please call the Office for Children and Families Help Desk at: 1-866-886-3537, option 4, or complete the OCF Feedback form at: http://jfs.ohio.gov/feedback/ocf/index.asp If you would like to request a copy of an inspection report, please mail your request to: Child Care Licensing Section You may also fax your request to us at 614-728-6803. Include the name of the center, a description of the information you want, and a return address where materials can be sent. Learning about the licensing status of a child care center is one part of the process of selecting care for your child. Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies provide additional resources and assistance in choosing child care.
