A licensed family child care home can operate as a home occupation. In Greeley the home-occupation floor-area cap is waived for a state-licensed child care home. All home daycares must be licensed by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood; unincorporated Weld allows child care as a home business.
In Greeley, the Development Code treats a child care home as an accessory home occupation (Section 24-403.c). Its rules cap most home occupations at 20 percent of the dwelling's habitable floor area but expressly except a state-licensed child care home, and activity may extend beyond the enclosed living area as required for state-licensed in-home family child care. In unincorporated Weld County, child care can operate as a home business under Chapter 23, Division 13. In every case the provider must hold a state family child care home license from the Colorado Department of Early Childhood, which sets child-count and safety standards. Confirm rules with your specific city.
Operating an unlicensed home daycare violates state licensing law, and exceeding local home-occupation standards is a zoning violation subject to city or county enforcement.
