Family and group family day care regulated by NY OCFS under SSL Article 19-h. Ulster County towns must permit registered/licensed home daycare as-of-right under NY law.
Under NY Social Services Law Article 19-h and 18 NYCRR 417-418, family day care (up to 6 kids) requires OCFS registration; group family day care (7-12 kids) requires a license. State law preempts local zoning: homes operating registered/licensed day care must be treated as a permitted single-family residential use. Ulster County Department of Health coordinates with OCFS for inspections involving water/septic in unincorporated areas. Operators must carry liability insurance and complete 30 hours of training biennially.
