Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>Need Help Interpreting Minnesota Laws!

So I am aware of what the laws on becoming a legally unlicensed provider in my state are...
Let's say I care for family A's kids full time. Then another family B comes along and only wants someone to watch their kid for one month. Do you think that means I could care for both sets of kids at the same time? As long as I don't care for Family B for a single day past that 30-day mark. Then again, I could be interpreting this incorrectly.
I won't be in a position to open a daycare for at least another couple of years, but I'm just wondering if I'll be able to go without a license! I prefer a smaller group anyway.

Obviously the last thing I'd want to do is break the law. But reading this, it seems to me that I am able to do drop-in/temporary care in addition to the one non related family?Under Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.03, subdivision 2, the following child care situations are excluded from licensure:
