Why Background Checks Matter for Childcare Providers
At Quantum Digital Services, we specialize in providing thorough background checks for childcare providers, ensuring safety and compliance with Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) regulations. Our background checks include both the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to meet the standards for all childcare professionals and facilities.
Background Check Requirements for Childcare Providers
To align with ODJFS regulations, all employees, owners, administrators, residents, and aides working in childcare must complete BCI and FBI background checks.
- BCI Reason Fingerprinted: Use code 5104.013 for roles like employees, owners, administrators, or residents in Type A and B homes or in-home aides.
- FBI Reason Fingerprinted: Use code CCDBGA for compliance with the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act.
Note: Registered day camps not seeking ODJFS approval will only require the BCI reason code 5104.013.
For childcare providers, creating a safe environment for children goes beyond standard background checks. Quantum Digital Services offers comprehensive Sex Offender Registry checks as part of the overall BCI and FBI fingerprinting services, ensuring compliance with Ohio childcare regulations. These checks cross-reference national and state registries to identify disqualifying records, providing peace of mind for providers and families—Trust Quantum Digital Services with your BCI and FBI background check for Childcare.

Electronic Submission to ODJFS
After fingerprinting, electronic results are sent directly to ODJFS for regulated programs. Registered day camps must keep a copy of results on-site. Additionally, all roles, except day camp providers, must complete the Request for a Background Check for Child Care through the Ohio Professional Registry.
Ensure Compliance and Timely Processing your BCI FBI Background Check
Selecting the correct reason code is crucial for compliance. Using an incorrect code may lead to delays, reprinting, and additional fees. Avoid using codes for Head Start or Ohio Department of Education programs if they do not apply to your specific childcare setting.
