A different child care rate is paid to licensed providers and unlicensed providers. Licensed providers who choose to become legally unlicensed will be paid the lower rate by the County. Unlicensed providers are also not paid for days that the client is not using their service. Clients can choose to pay this higher rate along with their subsidy payment. In response to providers' feedback, the Dakota County Child Care Licensing Unit, in cooperation with area providers, has started monthly forums for providers to discuss topics of interest to the child care profession.
