All licensed daycare facilities in Ohio are listed in our directory. You can also verify a facility's license status through Ohio's childcare licensing agency. Licensed facilities must meet state standards for safety, health, staff-to-child ratios, and staff qualifications.
When comparing daycare options in Ohio, consider:
  • Licensing status and inspection history
  • Staff-to-child ratios (Ohio sets minimum requirements by age group)

  • Location, hours, and cost
Daycare costs in Ohio vary by location, child's age, and facility type. Full-time center-based care typically ranges from $150 to $400+ per week. Infant care is generally more expensive due to lower staff-to-child ratio requirements. Urban areas tend to have higher costs than rural areas.
