The New York City Health Department proposed for public comment several measures to improve the safety of child care services in New York City. The proposals are part of a Health Department initiative that has strengthened all aspects of child care regulations over the past two years. Among other revisions, changes proposed today would require approximately 500 additional child care services to secure City permits and conduct criminal and child-abuse background checks on staff members.
