2What is a family daycare vs a daycare center?

A Large Family Child Care Home may serve 7-12 children with an approved assistant. All Newtown family daycares must be licensed by CT OEC and display their license in the home. Smaller group sizes in family settings often mean more individualized attention for each child.

Use the CT Office of Early Childhood licensing lookup at portal.ct.gov/oec to verify the home is currently licensed and check inspection records. Licensed Newtown family daycares must post their OEC license visibly in the home.
