Heard A Rumor About OH Regulations....

[SilverSabre25]

I had emailed the lady who sent me some info a year or so ago and just got a response...she said that the new rules that would require licensure are still in clearance.

Sounds like it's absolutely true.

Damn.

Anyone know how to speedily get licensed with NO money to spare? Heh.

I just looked at the link. Can someone tell me what a CDA is? How much schooling is involved in this? Thanks!

I'm halfway rough my cda. I'm doing it for free with my local refer all agency's nurturing homes initiative. Thank goodness because it's not cheap from what I hear.

Cda stands for child development associate

It's very simple/easy to get, Most state's are offering the schooling on line.

Here is the council's website for info on how to obtain your credential.

It does need to be renewed every few years.

Holy cow! I would need help paying for this too if just the application fee is $425!

If you go to your local CCR&R website, they offer grants to help pay for the certificate.

I applied for a T.E.A.C.H grant through them and they paid a lot of my college expenses.

My friend who does child care is getting her CDA paid for using the T.E.A.C.H. grant.

Here is the info http://teach.occrra.org/index.php and here it mentions the CDA and how to apply http://teach.occrra.org/index.php?pid=20

Here's a flyer that says that Type B providers whose families receive subsidies will have to go through the Step Up to Quality by 2019. Maybe this is the change she's talking about?? I hope so, because I just don't think I would stay in this business if I had to be licensed.

I don't think you CAN get subsidy unless you're licensed...can you?

I have no idea....

I just read the flyer, which made it sound like those receiving vouchers or subsidy will be required to participate in Step Up to Quality. :confused:

Your state's site says :

"Parents who are working or in school can apply for help to pay for their child care in the county where they live by contacting the county department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS). You must choose a licensed child care center, school-age program, head start, or a home provider (relative or non relative) or in-home aide that is certified by the CDJFS in order to get help."

when speaking about the assistance program.

huh. I assume that the first "licensed" applies to all the rest of them then, because everything I've ever gotten from the state says you must be licensed to take subsidy.

In ms you don't have to be licensed to accept vouchers. You do have to be registered with the state to accept vouchers though.

Which basically meant I had to fill out a paper, get a provider number, fill out a child abuse and neglect registry check for me and my husband (for free) and in two weeks, Whalah my welcome packet was in the mail.

Yeh, there is a certification that Type B providers can go through and I guess they are allowed to receive subsidy.
