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.

Competent supervision must take into account the child's age, emotional, physical and cognitive development.
What this means
Practice Children must be supervised at all times. The state's wording defines this as awareness of what each child is doing, with every child in a caregiver's range of vision except where the rule allows otherwise, and a caregiver close enough to step in. The public record does not describe what was seen.
Worth asking: How are the children supervised during naps, meals and outdoor play?
Official rule text — what the state requires: One caregiver may care for a maximum of six children younger than school age, or eight children when at least two of the eight children are school aged.
What this means
Practice One caregiver may care for at most six children younger than school age, or eight children when at least two of the eight are school aged. A citation means the group was larger than that when the home was cited.
Worth asking: How many children are in the group, and how many caregivers are present?
