Day care is fine. But if the church has a full blown school e.g. offers classes in the K-12 grades the entire property is considered to be a school safety zone.

My thoughts (without research): The Head Start program as a federally funded program may make the aforementioned catholic church a school zone.

As to the OP - it all depends on the church legal structure. Who is in charge? Who owns the place? The pastor? The board? You need written permission from whomever holds the authority for each individual permitted to carry.

No sir?

I thought you were asking if there had to be visible school zone markings and lights to notify of school zones. The answer to that is "no". A school zone may exist without any changes to the public road by the school.

I don't have law to give you, just personal experience and knowledge.

I know of multiple Ohio schools, all smaller schools, that do not have school zone traffic controls.

A school zone may exist without changes to traffic on the public road outside the school.

Indeed. One that I have personal knowledge of, Massillon Christian School, does not have any school zone traffic controls on the public road alongside the school.
