Child care software for North Dakota centers

The parts of running a center that depend on your state, set up for North Dakota instead of left for you to build.

Immunizations by your state's schedule

Each child's vaccines are checked against the CDC childhood schedule for their age, so the office sees who is due.

North Dakota licensing forms, ready to send to families

2 official forms, fetched from the state's own site and kept in Farlow's form library. Pick one, mark where the answers go, and families fill it in and sign on their phone, with reminders until it comes back. Each name below opens the form on the state's own site.

The date by each form is the day Farlow last matched it against the state's site. A weekly check flags any link that stops working or whose file changes. States revise their forms, and the state's site has the current one.

Staff-child ratios in North Dakota

From North Dakota N.D. Admin. Code 75-03-10-08, child care center staffing and group size requirements. In Farlow you set these bands once, and every room is counted against them as children check in and out.

AgeChildren per staff memberLargest group
Under 18 months410
18 to 36 months515
Three years720
Four years1025
Five years1230
Six to twelve years2040

In a group of mixed ages, each age group's count is multiplied by its ratio as a decimal (one to four is .25) and the results are added; a fraction of .35 or more means one more staff member, less is dropped (N.D. Admin. Code 75-03-10-08(2)(c)).

A mixed group with a child under 18 months is limited to 10 children. Otherwise the rule sets a mixed group's size by the age of most of the children or by the youngest age group, without saying which, so ask your licensing specialist (75-03-10-08(2)(b)).

Read on October 29, 2026 from the state's published rule. The rule itself is what an inspector goes by.
