Ramsey County IS the licensing agency for family child care. It licenses in-home providers on behalf of MN DHS under Minnesota Rules ch. 9502. Family child care serves no more than ten children at one time, of whom no more than six are under school age.
Minnesota delegates family child care licensing to counties, and Ramsey County licenses family child care in homes and settings other than child care centers, offers training, and monitors homes for children's health and safety. Licensing follows Minn. Rules ch. 9502 (DHS Rule 2) and Minn. Stat. ch. 245A. A family day care license covers no more than ten children at one time, of whom no more than six may be under school age, with age-distribution limits on infants and toddlers. Applicants must be at least 18, be the person providing care, pass a background study, and meet home-safety and training requirements. Your city may separately apply a zoning/home-occupation standard for the use.
Providing licensed-level child care without a Ramsey County license, or exceeding capacity/ratio limits, can bring correction orders, fines, or license revocation under Minn. Stat. ch. 245A.
