Home child care in Licking County is licensed by the state, not the county. The Ohio Department of Children and Youth licenses Type B homes for up to seven children and Type A homes for larger groups.
Ohio's Department of Children and Youth (DCY) licenses home-based child care, a role it took over from the old Job and Family Services agency. A Type B family child care home cares for one to seven children, with no more than three under age two, in the provider's own home. A Type A home covers larger groups, generally seven to twelve children. Truly informal care of six or fewer children can be license-exempt, but any provider accepting publicly funded child care must be licensed. Licensing brings background checks, health-and-safety training, and inspections. In cities the home must also meet local zoning.
Caring for more children than an exemption allows, or accepting public child-care payment without a license, exposes the provider to state enforcement and an order to stop until licensed.
