Which daycares in Manhattan have no violations?

Manhattan daycares with no violations

The short answer

44 of the 574 licensed daycare centers in Manhattan had no violations of any kind in NYC Health Department inspections from Oct 20, 2023 to Oct 19, 2026. 12 of them take babies (the city lists ages from 0). Centers with no inspections in that window are left off.

What "no violations" means here

Every inspection on file in the last 3 years found nothing: no public health hazards, no critical violations and no general ones. A clean record is a good sign. It doesn't guarantee good care, and it says nothing about openings, cost or how a room feels. Use it to pick who to tour, then bring our tour questions.

A center left off this list isn't necessarily bad. One old paperwork violation is enough to keep it off this page. See how we grade for the A, B and C rule, or infant daycares in Manhattan.
