Family and group family day care homes in Islip must be licensed or registered with NY OCFS under 18 NYCRR Parts 417/416. Home occupation must comply with Islip Town Code Chapter 68 zoning and cannot alter residential character of the dwelling.
Family day care (up to 6 children) requires OCFS registration; group family day care (7-12 children) requires OCFS licensure. Islip Town Code treats day care as a permitted home occupation subject to the standards in Chapter 68 (Zoning), which limits non-resident employees, customer traffic, and external evidence of business use. Building Division may require inspection to confirm compliance with fire safety, egress, and smoke/CO alarm rules. Suffolk County Department of Health Services oversees sanitary code for food service to children.
Operating without OCFS registration/license is a state violation with fines up to 500 dollars per day. Zoning violations under Islip Town Code cited by the Division of Code Enforcement carry daily fines.
