Caring for children for pay in a Saginaw County home requires a state license from MiLEAP. A family child care home serves up to 6 children; a group home up to 12.
Home child care in Michigan is licensed by the state, not the city, under the Child Care Organizations Act (1973 PA 116, MCL 722.111 et seq.). Licensing now runs through the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) Child Care Licensing Division. A family child care home may care for up to 6 unrelated minor children, and a group child care home for 7 to 12, with background checks, staff ratios, a safety inspection, and required training. In the City of Saginaw, Saginaw Township, or Frankenmuth the home must also meet local zoning, and a group home may need added zoning approval. State licensing decides whether the daycare may operate.
Operating a child care home without the required MiLEAP license violates the Child Care Organizations Act; the state can move to close it, and each day of unlicensed operation may be treated as a separate offense.
