About each permit
Child Day Care Centre License
Under New York Social Services Law §390 and 18 NYCRR Part 418-1, which contain no fee provision for a child day care centre license, there is no license fee — unusual against states charging into four figures. No official page states this in words, so no amount is recorded. The license runs up to four years, and from 5 June 2027 that becomes up to six. New York City is a different regime entirely: group child care there is permitted by the city health department under Article 47 of the city Health Code, for a two-year term with a $200 application fee. A centre caring for six or fewer children falls outside this license.
