North Dakota's Department of Health and Human Services licenses family and group child care homes under NDCC 50-11.1, preempting most local licensing of in-home daycare operations statewide.
NDCC Chapter 50-11.1 establishes statewide licensing for child care facilities, including family child care homes (up to 7 children), group child care homes (up to 18 children), and centers. Operators must complete background checks, training, CPR/first aid certification, and home safety inspections. Local zoning may regulate home-based daycare as a permitted home occupation, but cannot override state capacity, staffing, or safety standards. Cities may not require duplicate licensing for state-licensed providers, though they may enforce standard zoning, parking, and traffic ordinances.
Operating without a state license is a class B misdemeanor and may result in immediate closure, fines up to $1,500, and program disqualification.
