Minnesota's family child care licensing standards are being rewritten, and the new rules take effect July 1, 2027. Brandee and Erin read all 56 pages of Article 13 and pulled out the changes that will actually land on home daycare providers.

This is part one. We get into capacity classes, training hours, outdoor play space and fencing, water hazards, supervision, and sleeping infant checks. Part two covers what needs to change in your policy handbook.

We are providers, not lawyers. Some of this language is genuinely unclear and we say so when we are not sure. If you read it differently, leave a comment or call the voicemail line.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

- The new family child care licensing standards were enacted in 2026 as Chapter 127, Article 13, and the tentative effective date is July 1, 2027

- Capacity classes are restructured from A, B, C1 to C3, and D into A and C1 through C5, with more infants and toddlers allowed in the middle classes

- The top class requires a second adult, added experience or credentials, and care on a single ground level, which limits basement and upper level use

- A helper can substitute for a second adult caregiver only when there is no more than one infant, one newborn, or one toddler

- Annual training drops from 16 hours to 10, with required annual trainings in child development, supervision, SUID, and abusive head trauma

- Fire safety and fire marshal training is added on a five year cycle, along with health and safety training

- Everyone moves to a January 1 through December 31 licensing year, which makes the 2027 transition year confusing

- Outdoor play areas must be protected from traffic and hazards, and a continuous fence or natural barrier is required where hazards are present

- Platforms 30 inches or higher need a continuous protective barrier, and openings between 3.5 and 9 inches are not allowed

- Water hazards including pools, hot tubs, stationary wading pools, and fish ponds need a permanent barrier at least four feet high, and a locking hot tub cover no longer count

Leave us a voicemail at 651-300-2277. Your question could help thousands of providers.

For the first time on the podcast, Brandee and Erin sit down with a husband and wife team who run a licensed home daycare together in North Dakota. Twelve and a half years in, they have cut their hours twice, dropped curriculum entirely, and moved to a two day a week summer schedule that most providers assume families would never accept.

They walk through how they split the day between them, how they told parents a full year before the schedule change, what they charge for summer care, why they price below everyone around them, and why they have never once had a payment problem.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

- A two day a week summer schedule can hold your families if you give them enough notice

- Charging a percentage of the weekly rate keeps summer pricing fair when you cut days

- Long hours are usually a boundary problem, not a demand problem

- Play based care and everyday conversation teach more than worksheets for kids under five

- Kindergarten teachers want manners, independence, and the ability to ask for help without crying

- Referrals fill spots faster than advertising when families trust you

- Two adults in one program only works if you talk all day and back each other up in front of parents

Leave us a voicemail at 651-300-2277. Your question could help thousands of providers.

Our first voicemail from a daycare parent, plus three provider questions we did not sugarcoat. A new provider two months in with a child who is cussing, breaking things, and throwing her cat. A provider with 10 kids whose parents keep saying they will come early and then do not. And a parent asking whether kids really did get sicker after COVID, or whether it was just her family.

If you run a home daycare or family child care program, this one covers documentation, behavior plans, licensor conversations, playroom resets, contract trial periods, and how to stop opening your door early for free.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

- Document destructive behavior in a dedicated notebook with dates, times, and what happened. Have parents sign written notices and keep a copy.

- Reset the physical space before you reset the child. Crayons up high, hard toys away, soft toys out, one activity at a time.

- Ask your licensor for advice before you terminate. If the family reports you afterward, your licensor already knows the history.

- Write a behavior plan with a set timeline, have both parents sign it, then follow it exactly so termination is documented, not emotional.

- A trial period clause in your contract gives you an exit before you are stuck.

- Provider Appreciation Day is the Friday before Mother's Day. A card or a kid drawn picture is enough.

- Leave before close, not at close. A minute or two late every day adds up to real unpaid hours.

- Set fixed hours and stop opening early for free. If a family wants an early drop off, charge for it and take payment before you set the alarm.

- A doorbell camera and individual garage codes solve random arrivals during nap time.

- Both sisters saw the same post COVID illness surge, and both say it has been tapering off since 2024 into 2025 and 2026.

Brandee and Erin are sisters, business owners, and moms of nine with over 30 years of combined home daycare experience. Home daycare is a job where you are never alone but always lonely, and this is the conversation nobody else is having out loud.

We brought a microphone to the NAFCC National Annual Conference in Chicago and sat down with family child care providers from seven states. Ratios, curriculum, burnout, staffing, selling a program, and what they would tell someone opening their doors tomorrow.

Heads up on the audio. We recorded these on an iPhone in a busy conference hall.

IN THIS EPISODE

Providers from North Carolina, Michigan, New York, California, Ohio, Oregon, and Illinois talk about how differently this job looks depending on where you live, and how much of it is exactly the same everywhere.

CHAPTERS

00:00:00 Why this one is late and why the audio is rough

00:01:00 Maureen Brown, Charlotte NC, 32 years in

00:04:00 Switching to Experience Early Learning

00:06:30 Licensed for 12 to 17, but capping at 10 on purpose

00:09:00 Supportive husbands and gardening with the kids

00:12:30 Amy, Michigan, 25 years in a small in-home space

00:15:30 What her own three kids thought about growing up in daycare

00:19:30 Advice for new providers: policies first, and give yourself grace

00:22:00 Ari Hawkins, Syracuse NY, activity director

00:26:00 Second shift, no junk food, and staying in your lane with parents

00:30:00 The creek story

00:33:00 Yvonne, California, running family child care 24 hours a day

00:37:00 Selling the daycare without losing the legacy

00:40:00 Unionized child care in California and what it actually changed

00:45:00 Delegating and letting your staff run their own age group

00:48:00 Taniyah Holmes, Cincinnati OH, licensed for 14 with 19 enrolled

00:50:30 Preventing burnout and staying gold rated

00:52:30 Brooke McDonald, Oregon, running a program with her mother in law

00:55:30 Monique, Illinois, field trips with eight kids under five

00:59:00 Manners, Broadway, and finding a local provider group

01:03:00 Closing thoughts

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Your license number is not your capacity number. Several providers run below their limit on purpose to avoid staffing they cannot sustain.

Policies belong in writing before you open, not after your first hard parent.

Nobody warns you about wear and tear on your own house. Door handles, floors, walls.

Burnout prevention is not a mindset. It is a ten minute break, a second adult, or a hard stop at the end of your shift.

Selling a family child care program takes years, not months, if you care what happens to it after you leave.

Isolation is the through line. Almost every provider said the same thing: they did not know anyone else doing this until they found a group.

Leave us a voicemail at 651-300-2277. Your question could help thousands of providers.

We packed up the podcast and spent four days exhibiting at the NAFCC National Conference in Chicago, our first family child care conference ever. This is the full recap: the sweltering plane, one 30,000-step day of Chicago tourism, and what it was actually like to sit at a booth talking with providers, trainers, and advocates from all over the country.

We get into how different licensing, ratios, pay, and benefits look from state to state, why so many providers can afford staff, the debate over whether anyone should say "daycare" anymore, and the stories we cannot stop thinking about, including the daycare families who renovated a provider's basement while she was at the conference. Plus our first pod swap, the best compliment this podcast has ever received, and our giveaway winner announcement.

Coming soon: a finance and retirement episode for providers, and a walkthrough of Minnesota's new licensing rules.

12:03 Providers from all over the country

14:39 "You shouldn't call yourselves the Daycare Sisters"

16:55 Provider stories that stuck with us

18:06 Burnout, feeling inadequate, getting re-energized

22:02 Staff, subsidies, and benefits state by state

25:52 The conference app and the chatting chair

30:45 Wildfire smoke and the no-pool hotel

31:49 Meetups, badge scans, and exhibitor exhaustion

39:49 Our first pod swap and the SNL compliment

43:05 What we'd change next time

46:32 What's next on the podcast

47:28 Giveaway winner

48:16 Outro

KEY TAKEAWAYS

- Licensing, ratios, subsidies, and benefits for family child care vary enormously from state to state

- Providers in states with stronger subsidies or benefit programs are far more likely to afford staff, including homes offering 24/7 care

- Slower conference traffic meant longer, more meaningful conversations with providers, trainers, and advocacy leaders

- The field is debating the word "daycare," with some preferring terms like family educator, but we are keeping our name

- Getting back into the provider community can be a real antidote to burnout

Leave us a voicemail at 651-300-2277. Your question could help thousands of providers.

A 15 year home daycare provider shares what she wishes new providers knew: how to write and actually enforce a contract, handle rough drop offs, and protect your own home and family.

If you run a home daycare or family child care program, this conversation covers burnout, difficult parents, boundaries, play based curriculum, and caring for foster families through the county.

CHAPTERS

48:08 Where to find Megan

KEY TAKEAWAYS

- An ironclad contract is the thing most new providers skip, and learning to enforce it takes time and a bit of backbone

- Rough drop offs are normal; most kids are fine within minutes, and a quick video can reassure a worried parent

- Burnout is real after years in this job, and taking a personal day is necessary, not a

Brandee and Erin answer the last two listener voicemails. A 64-year-old single mom runs her home daycare from a two-bedroom apartment and can't keep up with the toys, laundry, dishes, and late payments. A rural Minnesota provider with three young kids at home is deep in burnout and wants to quit, but won't. The sisters get honest about tight margins, why "just enforce your policy" is easier said than done, and the small changes that actually help.
CHAPTERS
00:00 Intro
01:34 Week catch-up and iron infusion prep
07:36 Voicemail 1: running an apartment daycare alone at 64

01:31:38 Coming up: Minnesota laws episode, a provider tool, and Chicago
01:32:56 Outro
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Cut toys down to open-ended basics, store the rest in totes, and have the kids help pick up before pickup time
- Put toys from home in one designated spot the moment parents leave so nothing gets lost at the door
- Automate tuition with direct deposit through a service like Vanco, or send Venmo requests, so you never have to chase payments
- Screen time, paper plates, and simple meals are survival tools, not failures
- Enforcing policies is harder when losing one family breaks your budget; change hours for incoming families first and give current families a heads up
- A teachers-only daycare takes years to build; start enrolling teacher families now and save all school year to cover summers off
- Burnout is mostly mental load; hand off entire categories at home, like all food or all laundry, instead of asking for one-time help

Rebekah spent 15 years in child care centers, most recently as a director, then opened a home daycare in the basement of her Maryland townhouse. She and Brandee get into small-space setup, running mixed ages from 14 months to 7 years, homeschooling her own daughter during nap time, quiet time boxes, and the 4:30 closing time that keeps burnout away.

If you run a home daycare or family child care program, this one covers starting up, daily structure, and protecting your energy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

- A townhouse or condo can work for family child care if you are strategic with layout and furniture

- Plan activities for the oldest kids, then simplify the same activity for the younger ones

- Quiet time boxes keep school-age kids busy during nap so you still get your midday break

- Free local child care association programs and state quality ratings like Maryland EXCELS can pay providers real money

- Closing at 4:30 protects your evening, and families who fit your program will still enroll

Brandee and Erin answer your voicemails: how to cope with caregiver overstimulation, what to do about a toddler who hits and bites, and how to terminate a daycare family when behavior becomes a safety problem.

If you run a home daycare or family child care program, this one covers the hard parts nobody warns you about.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

- Earbuds or Loop earplugs turn the volume down without blocking supervision

- Separating a child who hits is a safety measure, not a punishment - use a high chair or gated space when you step away

- Consistency plus growing communication skills is usually what ends the hitting and biting phase

- Add a termination clause to your contract, and document incidents with date, time, what happened, and who you told

- Email your licensor before terminating so your side is on record first

- Collect payment up front the week you terminate, or plan on never seeing it
