Frequently Asked Questions

1How much does family daycare cost in Mahopac?

Family daycare in Mahopac costs $900-$1800 per month. Smaller groups, more flexible hours. Licensed homes capped at 6-12 children. Family daycares often have more flexible hours than centers and may offer part-time schedules.

2What 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 Putnam County, family daycares must be licensed and pass regular inspections — ask to see the provider's current license posted in the home.

3How 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.

4How do I verify a family daycare is licensed in Mahopac?

Search the NY OCFS Child Care Facility database at ocfs.ny.gov to confirm the home is currently licensed and review any inspection history. Licensed Mahopac family daycares must display their current license in the home. Ask to see it during your visit and verify the expiration date. You can also call OCFS at 1-800-732-5207 to ask about a provider's compliance record.
