Idaho Department of Health and Welfare
Licensing: Although any child care provider can seek state licensing, by state law the Department licenses child care providers who have more than six children enrolled. Communities and cities have the option to implement their own licensing laws, if they meet the minimum state licensing standards. Boise, Chubbuck, Coeur d'Alene, Jerome, Lewiston, Moscow, and Pocatello provide child care licensing in their communities. Click here for more information.
