Childcare
Childcare is important to Ohio’s working families. You must decide which type of childcare best meets your family’s needs. It is best to visit several childcare settings and meet with several providers before you decide. Good childcare is more than custodial care that meets minimum requirements.
Look for Childcare that provides opportunities for your child to play, explore, and grow in a creative, happy, and healthful way.
The childcare you select for your child will be his/her environment for part or most of the day. The decision is an important one and deserves your thoughtful consideration.
It is your right and responsibility as a parent to visit and ask many questions about the childcare so you can make an informed decision.

Help Paying for Childcare
Parents who are working or in school can apply for help to pay for their childcare in the county where they live by contacting the County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS). You must choose a licensed childcare provider or school latchkey program in order to get help. You will still be required to pay for part of your childcare, called a fee or co-payment. The amount you pay is based on your income and family size. The table below shows the maximum monthly gross earned and unearned income that a family may initially receive and be eligible for help to pay for child care.
