A St. Louis County license is required for any person caring for more than 4 children (other than their own) in their home. Maximum 10 children including the provider's own; minimum 500-ft separation from another licensed home daycare. Missouri State License also required.
Chapter 819 (Day Care Home Licensing Code) sets the framework. The provider must reside in the home, have adequate outdoor play space, and pass County inspection. Police record checks are run on all household members 18+. Residents within 300 ft of the home must be notified. Caring for ≤4 children (excluding the provider's own) does not require a county license, though the Missouri State license still applies above thresholds.
License denial; cease-and-desist; up to $1,000/day for unlicensed operation; criminal referral for non-compliance with child-safety provisions.
