There are many types of child care programs in New York State. Quality programs provide care in a warm, safe and friendly setting. Quality programs provide activities that help children learn and develop. No one type of program is necessarily better that any other type of program. You are the best judge of which program will meet your needs and your child’s needs.

The information we provide is intended for referral purposes only. We do not warrant the information concerning any child care provider, nor do we license, endorse, or recommend any particular child care provider. We remind you that only you can determine whether the quality of care is appropriate for your child.

The Special Needs Referral Program provides assistance in locating child care or other community resources for families with children with a developmental disability or developmental delay. An enhanced referral service provides information about types of child care, licensing regulations and legal child care options and referrals to programs with confirmed openings. Child care programs may also be eligible to receive an equipment loan for children with special needs while in their care.

To inquire about violations regarding a child care program, visit the Office of Children & Family Services (OCFS) website or call 585-238-8531.

If you have any questions or concerns about the Referral service, please contact us at (585) 654-1190.
