CCMPL 35 (JFS 01258 and 01259 for Day Camps)
Child Care Manual Procedure Letter No. 35
January 12, 2009
TO: All Holders of the Child Care Manual
FROM: Jan Allen, Interim Director
SUBJECT: Revised and New Forms for Child Day Camps

This letter issues two forms that are used for child day camps. These form revisions will be effective December 2008.

The JFS 01258 "Child Day Camp Registration" has been revised to clarify language and add a field for American Camp Association (ACA) accreditation. This form must be completed annually by all child day camps and submitted to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS).

The JFS 01259 "Application for Child Day Camp Approval" is a new form for use by child day camps that apply for approval from ODJFS. Only approved camps that have been inspected by ODJFS can receive reimbursement for children whose parents qualify for subsidized child care.

The electronic version of the Child Care Manual is located at: http://emanuals.jfs.ohio.gov. The manual contains all rules, forms, transmittal letters and procedure letters that the department has issued to child care providers. A current version of this manual should be utilized by all providers in all licensed child care centers, licensed type A homes and type B homes that are certified by the county Department of Job and Family Services. A current and updated copy of the manual should be accessible at all times to all providers.

Please contact the Help Desk for the Office for Children and Families at 1-866-886-3537, option 4 if you have any questions.
