Child Care Licensing is managed by the Oklahoma Child Care Services. The Child Care Facilities Licensing Act defines those programs required to be licensed. Each program has their own minimum licensing requirements for the protection of children's health, safety and well-being.
Programs exempt from licensure include care provided in a child's own home or by relatives, informal arrangements for the occasional care of children, programs in which children attend on a drop-in basis and parents are on the premises and readily accessible, single activity programs, and programs operating for 15 hours or less per week.
