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.

What this means

Worth asking: Who holds the CPR and first aid certification, and when does it expire?

Official rule text — what the state requires: a search of the state-based child abuse or neglect repository of any state other than New York where such person lives or lived during the preceding five years.
What this means
Records The required background clearances include a search of the child abuse or neglect registry of any state other than New York where the person lives or lived during the preceding five years. The citation concerns that search. It does not say what a search found.
Worth asking: Has every adult who needs an out of state registry search had one?

Official rule text — what the state requires: Children cannot be left without competent supervision at any time. Competent supervision includes awareness of and responsibility for the ongoing activity of each child. It requires that all children be within a caregiver's range of vision except as provided in section 416.8(b) of this Part and that the caregiver be near enough to respond when redirection or intervention strategies are needed. 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: Only approved caregivers may be left unsupervised with day care children.
What this means
Practice Only approved caregivers may be left unsupervised with the children in day care. A citation means someone who was not an approved caregiver was alone with them.
