Minnesota sent $67 million to 9 daycare centers raided by federal agents, records show.

Minnesota paid more than $67 million in public child care subsidies over the past eight years to nine day care providers raided by federal authorities last week as part of a sweeping fraud investigation, according to state data obtained by 5 INVESTIGATES.

The payments flowed through the state’s Child Care Assistance Program, known as CCAP, which helps low-income families cover the cost of child care. The feds have not filed charges, and investigators have not said how much, if any, of the money paid to those providers may have been fraudulently obtained.

Still, the records show dramatic financial growth at the nine centers, while the number of kids they served stayed relatively flat.

Over the last two years alone, state payments to the nine providers more than doubled, rising from about $8 million in 2023 to more than $16 million in 2025, according to the data.
