Who licenses child care in New York?
New York State Office of Children and Family Services, Division of Child Care Services licenses and inspects child care centers, preschools and home daycares in New York. Every profile links to the state record. Licence data on this page was synced in September 2026.
What does daycare cost in Manhattan?
5 programs in the metro area publish full-time tuition on their website. The median starting price is $1,500 a month. Most programs share tuition only on a tour, so ask for the full fee schedule including registration and supply fees.
Why do home daycares show only a ZIP code?
A licensed home daycare is a private residence. The listing shows the licence, capacity and ZIP code. The provider gives the address to families directly.
When should I join a daycare waitlist in Manhattan?
Infant rooms fill first because the state allows the fewest babies per teacher. Ask each program how long its infant and toddler waitlists run and whether a deposit holds a place. Home daycares often have shorter waits than centers.
Help paying for care
Most states run a child care subsidy for working families under an income limit, funded by the federal Child Care and Development Fund.
