Child Care Forms

Licensed/Registered Provider

We appreciate your interest in learning more about the application process to become a child day care provider. The application forms you can download from this site are sample forms only. Each type of child day care requires slightly different forms and information. Reviewing the sample forms at this website prior to requesting an "official" application package will assist you in determining which type of child day care you might be interested in pursuing.

You may request an official application package, which will be specifically tailored to your needs and include the identification number required for processing, by going to http://opal.gorr.state.ny.us
