Gabrielle: Since you last requested and received this type of information in late 2023/early 2024, child care licensing in the state of Ohio has fully transitioned to the Ohio Department of Children and Youth. I am copying their communications director, Jodi Norton, who was transitioning into her role back then. Jodi, if you need information on the previous request, let me know.
