Frequently asked questions

There are 1,323 all daycares across Minnesota. Browse by city to find options near you.
All licensed daycare facilities in Minnesota are listed in our directory. You can also verify a facility's license status through Minnesota's childcare licensing agency. Licensed facilities must meet state standards for safety, health, staff-to-child ratios, and staff qualifications.
When comparing daycare options in Minnesota, consider:
  • Licensing status and inspection history
  • Staff-to-child ratios (Minnesota sets minimum requirements by age group)
  • Staff qualifications and training
  • Safety measures and facility cleanliness
  • Parent reviews and Google ratings
  • Curriculum and daily schedule
  • Location, hours, and cost
Daycare costs in Minnesota vary by location, child's age, and facility type. Full-time center-based care typically ranges from $150 to $400+ per week. Infant care is generally more expensive due to lower staff-to-child ratio requirements. Urban areas tend to have higher costs than rural areas.
