Idaho Childcare Licensing
In Idaho, all child care centers serving children outside the family home are required to be licensed by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare — Child Care Licensing. Licensed centers undergo background checks, capacity inspections, and routine compliance reviews.
Minimum staff-to-child ratios are 1:6 for infants under 12 months, 1:8 for toddlers (12–35 months), and 1:12 for preschool (3–5 years). NAEYC-accredited centers typically operate below the state minimum.
