Family Daycare in Sloatsburg — FAQ
What is a family daycare vs a daycare center?
A family daycare operates out of a provider's home and typically cares for a small group of children. A daycare center is a larger facility with multiple classrooms and staff. Family daycares offer a home-like environment, smaller groups, and often more flexible schedules. In Rockland County, family daycares must be licensed and pass regular inspections — ask to see the provider's current license posted in the home.
How many children can a licensed family daycare watch in NY?
New York has two tiers of licensed home-based care. A Family Day Care Home may care for up to 6 children total (including the provider's own children under 13, up to 2 of whom can be under 2 years old). A Group Family Day Care Home may care for 7-12 children, requiring at least one assistant. Both types are licensed and inspected by OCFS. Larger group sizes allow slightly lower per-child costs.
