Nassau County home-based daycares must be registered or licensed under NY OCFS rules. Family day care (up to 8 children) requires registration; group family day care (up to 16) requires a license. Local zoning compliance also required.
New York Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) regulates home daycares statewide under 18 NYCRR Part 417 (family day care) and Part 416 (group family day care). Nassau County towns (Hempstead, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay) and cities (Glen Cove, Long Beach) enforce zoning compliance. Operators must pass background checks, complete 30 hours of training every 2 years, and maintain CPR/first aid certification. Fire inspection by local fire marshal may be required. NY Labor Law 240 scaffolding protections do not apply to home daycare but workers compensation coverage is required if staff are hired.
Operating without OCFS registration: civil penalties up to $500 per day. Zoning violations handled by town building department. Health and safety violations may result in license suspension or revocation.
