What to do if you have a complaint or question about your child care program
The New York State Office of Children and Family Services (NYS OCFS) maintains a toll free complaint line for complaints about child care programs. Call this number during normal working hours and a staff person will take the information. The NYS OCFS is empowered to investigate any possible violation of child care regulations. If you think a person or program is operating without the proper license or registration certificate, this is also a basis for making a complaint. Your complaint will be investigated, and if it is substantiated, staff will work with the provider to help ensure that any violation is corrected.
To make a complaint call:
(800) 732-5207
To report suspected child abuse or maltreatment call The Child Abuse Hotline:
(800) 342-3720
If you wish to obtain a complaint history of a child care program:
• For registered Family Child Care Providers call (914) 761-3456 ext. 105, Kathy McBride of the Child Care Council of Westchester.
• For licensed Centers, licensed Group Family Child Care Providers, and registered School Age Child Care call (914) 376-8810- the Yonkers Regional NYS OCFS.
Seminars
for Working Families
Years ago, parents were able
to share parenting concerns and solutions with
neighbors and family. Today in many families,
both parents work and extended families are
no longer living nearby. To respond to this
need for support, CCCW has developed a series
of parenting seminars for parents, employers
and community groups throughout Westchester.
Topics range from the expectations versus realities
of parenthood, to early childhood and school
age concerns to balancing the demands of work
and family.
