Licensing typically required. Most daycare providers in Scarsdale must be licensed by the state. Verify that any provider you consider holds a current, valid license before enrolling your child.

All childcare providers in Westchester County must be licensed or registered through NY OCFS. Licensing types include Day Care Center, Group Family Day Care, Family Day Care, and School-Age Child Care. Providers must pass background checks, health and safety inspections, maintain CPR/First Aid certification, and meet minimum staff-to-child ratios. Search licensed providers at ocfs.ny.gov. Nanny agencies and private tutors are not required to hold state licenses, but background checks are strongly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

1How much does daycare cost in Scarsdale?

Daycare in Scarsdale typically costs $1200-$2400 per month. Infant care costs 20-40% more than toddler/preschool rates. Many centers offer sibling discounts of 10-15% and multi-day discounts for full-week enrollment. Infant rooms cost 20-40% more than toddler or preschool rooms because state ratios require more staff — NY requires 1 caregiver for every 4 infants, compared to 1:7 for preschool-age children.

2What are the staff-to-child ratios at daycare centers in Scarsdale?

New York state law (enforced by OCFS) sets these minimum ratios for licensed daycare centers: 1 caregiver per 4 infants (6 weeks–18 months), 1 per 5 toddlers (18–36 months), 1 per 7 three-year-olds, 1 per 8 four-year-olds, and 1 per 9 five-year-olds. In Scarsdale, many quality centers exceed these minimums, especially in infant rooms. Always ask about ratios during your tour.

3How do I choose a good daycare in Scarsdale?

Visit in person during operating hours to observe the environment and how staff interact with children. Check that the center is licensed by NY OCFS (ocfs.ny.gov) and ask to see the current license posted at the entrance. Confirm actual staff-to-child ratios, ask about staff turnover and training requirements, and request references from current parents. Look for age-appropriate activities, clean facilities, and a structured daily schedule.

4What age can my child start daycare in Scarsdale?

Most Scarsdale daycare centers accept infants starting at 6 weeks old, though some begin at 3 months. Infant rooms have the lowest ratios and highest costs. Many parents find that starting between 3-6 months works well for their family's schedule and the child's developmental readiness.

5How do I verify a daycare's license in Scarsdale?

Search the NY OCFS Child Care Facility database at ocfs.ny.gov to confirm a center is currently licensed and review any inspection history or violations. Licensed Scarsdale daycare centers are required to display their current license on the premises. A valid license confirms the center meets state health, safety, and staffing standards. Call OCFS at 1-800-732-5207 if you have specific compliance questions.
