Sentencing dates for the two defendants will be set at a later date.
Two of the 15 defendants accused of stealing federal program money back in May have pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges.
Fahima Egeh Mahamud, 50, of Minneapolis, and Jillaine Mertens, 42, of Hamel, each entered guilty pleas Thursday as part of agreements with prosecutors.
Prosecutors say Mertens collected more than $400,000 in fraudulent claims across three childcare centers in Ramsey, Rochester and Kasson.
Mahumud is accused of taking $5.5 million in taxpayer money through her daycare, Future Leaders.
Both will be sentenced at a yet-to-be-determined future date.
