In New York the ratio for children 2 and under is 1:2.

  In NY, it is 1:3 up to 6 weeks and 1:4 after 6 weeks for day care centers. See page 22: https://www.ocfs.ny.gov/programs/childcare/regulations/418-1-DCC.pdf https://www.ocfs.ny.gov/programs/childcare/regulations/418-1... The 1:2 ratio is for “family daycare”, whatever that means. That is on page 19 of this document: https://www.ocfs.ny.gov/programs/childcare/regulations/417-FDC.pdf https://www.ocfs.ny.gov/programs/childcare/regulations/417-F...

    It has to do with facility type, I believe. I think operations run out of homes are “family daycare,” but I’m not 100% sure.

      > Family day care home shall mean a program caring for children for more than three hours per day per child in which child day care is provided in a family home for three to six children. From 413: https://www.ocfs.ny.gov/programs/childcare/regulations/413-Definitions.pdf https://www.ocfs.ny.gov/programs/childcare/regulations/413-D... In general it usually refers to a family taking on a few extra kids vs a schoolroom/office taking on kids. Requirements are usually different for the family care ones, not necessarily less.

        I thought it meant in a home, but wasn't sure if that was the exact delineation.
