Licensing Requirements for
Family Child Care Homes and
Large Child Care Homes
Effective Date 1/31/2018
FOREWORD
Licensing requirements govern child care facilities in the State of Oklahoma.
These rules are minimum requirements for the care and protection of children in
care outside their own homes. They were developed by Oklahoma Department
of Human Services (DHS) Child Care Services with input from individuals from
various professions with expertise in child care, including providers; the Child
Care Advisory Committee; and the public. The requirements were approved by
the DHS Director and the Governor of the State of Oklahoma pursuant to the
Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act.
It is the intent of DHS that licensing requirements are clear, reasonable, fair and
enforceable. In the interest of serving the public, comments are welcomed and
will be considered for future revisions or development of new requirements.
