About The Search
Looking for quality daycare? Search our interactive database of more than 8,000 daycare providers in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

We've expanded our daycare search to include childcare providers all across the tri-state. You can search by state, city, name or zip code to find a provider that fits your needs. Our list now includes ratings for the following state quality rating systems: (Indiana) Paths to Quality; (Kentucky) Stars for Kids Now; and (Ohio) Step Up to Quality. This data represents a snapshot in time and state licensure status is subject to change over time.

We retrieved licensure data from the state agencies that license daycares in the states of OH, IN and KY. Some states have also included additional daycare certifications from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC); the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC); the Association for Christian Schools International (ACSI); and the Council for Accreditation for Services to Families and Children (COA).
