Ohio Laws and Rules
(A) The provider shall conduct an interview with the caretaker and the child at the provider's home or the home of a child receiving in-home aide services prior to the child's receipt of child care services. The provider shall provide the caretaker with the opportunity to view all areas of the home where child care will be provided.

(1) The written agreement shall include, but not limited to, the following:
(a) Provision of infant care supplies.
(b) Established monthly fee payment arrangements based upon the "Child Care Provider Reimbursement Reporting Calendar" which is appendix B to rule 5101:2-16-39 of the Administrative Code.

(g) Days and hours child care is provided.
(2) The provider shall give a copy of the JFS 01332 to the caretaker of each child. After the JFS 01332 is reviewed and all questions answered, the caretaker shall sign a statement indicating the handbook and policies have been reviewed and agrees to follow the policies.
(3) The provider shall give a copy of the signed handbook statement to the CDJFS within five days of completion.
(4) The CDJFS shall maintain a copy in the provider's file.
(5) The JFS 01634 and JFS 01332 shall be amended by the provider if changes are needed by either of the participating parties due to changes in policies, rates, days/hours of service or other information included in the JFS 01634 or JFS 01332.

(7) The CDJFS shall maintain a copy of each in the provider's file.
(C) The provider shall not impose on the caretaker any charge which exceeds that established by the CDJFS for basic publicly funded child care services.
(1) The provider may, with approval from the CDJFS, establish fees to recover from the caretaker costs incurred due to the following:
(a) Late arrival of the caretaker for pick-up of the child which causes the provider to deliver additional hours of service beyond what has been authorized by the CDJFS.
(b) Additional cost to the provider for special events and field trips such as, but not limited to, admission fees for movies, plays, and museums.
(c) Absentee days which exceed those reimbursed by the CDJFS.
