In-home child care in Macomb County is licensed by the State of Michigan (LARA / MiLEAP), not the county. A family child care home covers 1–6 children and a group child care home 7–12; local zoning may add reasonable standards but cannot ban the use.
Anyone caring for unrelated children in their home in Macomb County must be licensed by the State of Michigan — the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), now under the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP). Macomb County does not license daycare homes. A 'family child care home' covers 1 to 6 minor children, and a 'group child care home' covers 7 to 12 (MCL 722.111). Michigan treats a licensed family child care home as a residential use, so a city or township cannot zone it out, though reasonable standards may apply. Licensing requires background checks, safety and fire clearances, and training. Commercial child care centers are licensed separately and usually need local approval.
Caring for unrelated children in the home without a state license is illegal in Michigan and can result in license denial, cease-and-desist action, and penalties by the state licensing agency. The county does not license these homes.
