About the data
Licensed child care centers, family child care homes and certified centers across Minnesota: license status, capacity, ages served, Parent Aware star rating and whether the program takes CCAP, as the state publishes them. Family child care homes are listed by city only.
Sabi Childcare is built from public sources, gathered automatically and refreshed weekly. When a source changes a record, the change shows up here on the next refresh and is logged on the what changed page.
No business pays to be listed or to be ranked higher, and nothing is written in by hand. Where a source is a regulator, what it says is shown as it said it. Where the source is community data or the business's own website, the listing says so.
License status, capacity and ratings are as the state publishes them. Inspection reports, correction orders and licensing actions are in the state’s licensing record: search the license number at licensinglookup.dhs.state.mn.us before you choose a program.
