Residential Child Care Inspection ProgramRESIDENTIAL CHILD CARE INSPECTION PROGRAM
The Cuyahoga County Board of Health (CCBH) conducts inspections for Type B (6 or less children) home day care providers who receive a subsidy through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The inspections are required by the Ohio Department of Education, Division of Child Nutrition Services. Inspection reports need to be completed by the local health department and fire department on an annual basis to remain in the program. All other child care, pre-school and school-aged child care facilities are licensed and inspected by either the Ohio Department of Education or the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services.
