Caring for children for pay in a Wright County home requires a state family child care license, issued through the county on behalf of Minnesota DHS. A family license covers up to 10 children.
Family child care in Minnesota is licensed under MN Stat. Ch. 245A and Rules Ch. 9502, and Wright County Health and Human Services processes these licenses on behalf of the Department of Human Services (DHS). A licensed family child care home may serve up to 10 children, and a group family home up to 14, subject to adult-to-child ratios by age. Licensing requires background studies, CPR and first-aid training, and safety inspections. The home must also meet city or township zoning; larger group homes may need a conditional use permit. DHS and the county conduct regular inspections.
Operating a child care home without the required DHS license is unlawful; the county and state can order it closed, and each day of unlicensed care may be treated as a separate violation.
