Hot Off the Press: New Draft of Licensing Standards
January 2026The MN Department of Children, Youth, & Families (DCYF) released its third edition of updated draft licensing standards to the legislature last Friday. These are the proposed final standards that will go to the legislature next month for debate and approval. Licensing standards haven't been fully revised in over 30 years -- this is a big opportunity and we need your help! PLEASE READ the new draft here and send questions/comments to MCCA Government Relations Chair Clare Sanford (csanford@nhacademy.net) by the end of the month.
