SUTQ is a three-level quality rating and improvement system that recognizes and promotes child care programs that exceed minimum health and safety licensing regulations. Rated programs that provide publicly funded child care receive additional funding based on their level. This additional funding is a percentage above their base pay rate for publicly funded child care services. This tool is designed to help programs estimate the weekly and annual payments they could potentially receive for the rating they achieve.
NOTE: This tool generates estimates, not exact payment amounts. For more information about publicly funded child care payment rates and SUTQ payment enhancements by program type, payment category, location and SUTQ rating, see Ohio Administrative Code rule 5101:2-16-10. There are base rates for non-rated programs and additional percentages are added to the base rate for each rating level. To see payment rates for publicly funded child care services in each of Ohio's counties, please see the Appendix of Rule 5101:2-16-10.
