Who licenses child care in Ohio?

What is Step Up To Quality?
Step Up To Quality is Ohio's rating for licensed programs, with Bronze, Silver and Gold tiers. 132 of 175 programs in Akron hold a rating.
What does daycare cost in Akron?
10 programs in the Akron area publish full-time tuition on their website. The median starting price is $834 a month, and $953 a month for infants. Most programs share tuition only on a tour, so ask for the full fee schedule including registration and supply fees.
Why do home daycares show only a ZIP code?
A licensed home daycare is a private residence. The listing shows the licence, capacity and ZIP code. The provider gives the address to families directly.
When should I join a daycare waitlist in Akron?
Infant rooms fill first because the state allows the fewest babies per teacher. Ask each program how long its infant and toddler waitlists run and whether a deposit holds a place. Home daycares often have shorter waits than centers.
Help paying for care
Most states run a child care subsidy for working families under an income limit, funded by the federal Child Care and Development Fund.
