Relates to caregiver requirements for certain day care homes

This bill requires day care homes to maintain a specific caregiver-to-child ratio for infants and toddlers. It mandates one caregiver for every two children under eighteen months in both group family day care homes (serving 7-12 children) and standard family day care homes (serving 3-6 children). The law also specifies that family day care homes may serve up to eight children if no more than six are under school age and school-aged children are accommodated during non-school hours. These requirements apply to all qualifying homes operating under New York's social services law. The bill directly affects home-based day care providers caring for young children.
