Relates to caregiver requirements for certain day care homes
This bill updates caregiver-to-child ratios for day care homes in New York. It requires one caregiver for every two children under eighteen months of age in both group family day care homes (serving 7-12 children) and family day care homes (serving 3-6 children). The change replaces the previous "two years" requirement with "eighteen months," tightening standards for infant supervision. These provisions directly affect day care providers operating under these specific home-based care models.
