Your local human resources should have a book of all the requirements you’ll need. Most states have similiar requirements. It’s long and costs a lot of money. I don’t have one, but I looked into it and considered it for awhile. You have to have a certain amount of space, have a fenced in yard, have another employee ready to take over for you if you get sick, and tons of forms for parents to sign, etc. Good luck.
I am in the process of getting my license right now for a home daycare. I live in Massachusetts so your state might be a little different, but this is what I have to do:
-CPR/First Aid certified
-35 sq. ft. indoor space per child
-75 sq. ft. outdoor space per child
-no peeling or chipping paint
-3 letters or referrals
-criminal background check
-$100.00 license fee with application
-sample schedule and curriculum
-visit from licensor to the home
-childproof all areas accessible to children
I started by going to my state’s government website: Mass.gov. You probably have something similar for Ohio.
Good luck!
