Licensed child care in New York is regulated by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, which licenses providers, conducts inspections, investigates complaints, and publishes enforcement actions on the public record. Those state filed records, not reviews, are what this page is computed from. One precision note: some programs are legally exempt from licensing in many states (certain school- or church-operated programs, and small home settings under the state’s size threshold) and therefore do not appear on the licensed register at all. This page covers every provider on New York’s public licensing file.

No. Facilities are never contacted, never notified, and cannot pay to be listed, delisted, or re-scored. Independence is the product.
