Family Child Care Homes in Nebraska are licensed by DHHS under NRS §71-1911.02. Omaha allows licensed in-home daycare in residential zones as a permitted home occupation. Family Child Care Home I permits up to 10 children, Family Child Care Home II up to 12.
Nebraska DHHS Child Care Licensing under NRS §71-1908 et seq. establishes two in-home daycare categories: Family Child Care Home I (up to 8 children including provider's own, with no more than 2 under 18 months) and Family Child Care Home II (up to 12 children in a home setting, with additional staff ratios). Both require state licensing, fingerprint background checks, CPR/first aid certification, tuberculosis testing, and compliance with Title 391 NAC Chapters 1 through 6. Omaha Municipal Code treats licensed in-home daycare as a home occupation permitted by right in residential zones under Chapter 55, provided there is no external sign, no conversion of the primary residential character, and pickup/drop-off traffic does not impair the neighborhood. Outdoor play area, functioning smoke/CO detectors, second means of egress, and fire inspection are required by DHHS rules. Fees for parents are regulated by contract, not by the state. The state's Child Care Subsidy program can serve eligible families.
Operating without DHHS license: closure, civil penalty up to $10,000 (NRS §71-1920), possible criminal referral. Exceeding capacity: license suspension, immediate correction. Unsafe conditions during DHHS inspection: provisional license or closure. Omaha zoning violation (sign, traffic): citation up to $500.
