Frequently asked questions about childcare in Syracuse
Answers use the numbers on this page.
How many childcare centers are in Syracuse?
Syracuse has 245 licensed childcare centers and homes in New York's licensing records. Among the 1,097 New York cities with listings, Syracuse ranks #7 by centers and homes on file. The records come from New York State Office of Children and Family Services, Division of Child Care Services.
How do I check a New York daycare license?
Look the center up in OCFS Regulated Child Care Search, New York's public license lookup, and confirm the license is active. Match the address on the state record to the address on the center's page here, then read whatever inspection or compliance information the state posts. NYC Child Care Connect covers New York City programs, which the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene permits instead of OCFS.
What is the child-to-staff ratio for infants in New York?
For children 0–17 months in licensed child care centers, New York allows up to 4 children per staff member, a ratio of 1:4 under 18 NYCRR §418-1.8(k) (6 weeks-18 months). For 18–35 months it is 1:5. The full New York table is in the New York guide.
