Child Care Incentives Touted

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services is offering $3 million in incentives to help current publicly funded child care providers become rated or improve their rating. It’s all a part of the Step Up To Quality program…Ohio’s quality rating system for child care providers. Qualifying child care centers will earn $4,000, and family child care providers will earn $2,000 in incentives. By July, all Ohio licensed child care programs that receive state funding must participate in Step Up To Quality.
