For instance, there is an exemption from the legal definition of child day care centers in Ohio for a child day care center is operated by a religious institution or a parent of one of the children. Whether the child day care center is regulated by all of the provision of Ohio Revised Code 5104 or not, each child day care center or facility that provides child care in any manner must provide the child with a safe and clean environment while supervising and caring for the children. For private, public, and religious facilities that provide child care, a child should not suffer injuries due to negligent supervision or poor maintenance of the facility.
