Inspection history

Every state inspection visit on record for this home, newest first, from New York State's public file. We show the record as it stands and don't grade it.

How to read this record
  • New York State inspects home programs at least once a year unannounced, when the license or registration comes up for renewal, and after complaints. Every visit is listed with its date and result.
  • Violations found means inspectors cited one or more rule violations on that visit. Each one lists the rule, what it requires, and whether the record shows it corrected (fixed) or still uncorrected.
  • The state doesn't publish severity rankings the way the city does for daycare centers. Read the description itself, and ask the provider about anything that worries you.
  • To double-check anything or request the fuller file, open the official state record or get a pre-filled records-request letter, using the buttons under the inspection list. More in our methodology.

Violation · §416.8(j)(3)Corrected

Official rule text — what the state requires: When care is provided for children under the age of two years, there must be at least one caregiver present for every two children under the age of two years in attendance.

Worth asking: How many caregivers are present when the youngest children are here?

Violation · §416.11(b)(3)Corrected

Official rule text — what the state requires: Initial medical statements sent in with the application or as a result of a new hire must be dated within 12 months preceding the date of application or hiring date.

Violation · §416.13(a)(2)Corrected

Official rule text — what the state requires: The provider, assistant(s), and substitutes must each meet the following qualifications: have a minimum of either two (2) years of experience caring for children under six years of age, or one (1) year of experience caring for children under six years of age plus six hours of training or education in early childhood development. The phrase "experience caring for children" can mean child-rearing as well as paid and unpaid experience caring for children. The term "training" can mean educational workshops and courses in caring for preschool-age children;

What this means

Records The provider, assistants and substitutes must each have two years of experience caring for children under six, or one year of that experience plus six hours of training or education in early childhood development. The state's wording counts child-rearing as experience. The citation concerns that qualification, and the public record does not say which person it applied to.

Worth asking: What childcare experience and training does each caregiver have?

Official rule text — what the state requires: All child day care providers, employees, volunteers and any person age eighteen (18) or older living or who begins to live in a group family day care home are required to comply with the criminal history review provisions of this Part and Part 413 of this Title.

What this means

Records Providers, employees, volunteers and anyone 18 or older who lives in the home, or starts to live there, must comply with the criminal history review rules in the state's regulations. The citation concerns that requirement. It does not say what any review found.

Worth asking: Have all required people completed the criminal history review?
