New child care regulation modernization report available

The Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) released the legislatively mandated Child Care Regulation Modernization Legislative Report. The report summarizes proposed child care licensing standards and highlights notable differences between the proposed standards and current rule and statute. It also provides an overview of the project, recent developments, stakeholder engagement efforts, and anticipated implementation considerations. 

The proposed standards included in the report are intended for the Minnesota Legislature’s consideration. New standards will not go into effect until they are passed into law by the legislature.
