Little Sweethearts Group Family Daycare is child care in the provider's own home. New York State licenses this kind of home (“group family day care”) for up to 12 children plus 4 school-age children; an assistant must be on hand once more than eight children are present. State inspectors check it, not the city Health Department. The state's file shows 6 inspection visits, most recently Oct 8, 2026, with no uncorrected violations on file. Per the state's record, this provider had violations in the last 3 years, all shown as fixed in the record. Its license or registration runs through Apr 30, 2027 in the state registry. Everything we publish for this record is free.

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.
