“The assistance comes at a crucial time when numerous daycare facilities are grappling with understaffing, and some caregivers are contemplating leaving the profession altogether. As child care workers play a vital role in supporting hundreds of thousands of families statewide, empowering them with the necessary resources inside and outside of work benefits our communities greatly.

By investing in child care, working families stand to gain immensely. From single parents relying on daycare to pursue their careers to the invaluable child care workers, many New Yorkers are well aware of the positive impact these programs will have. I eagerly anticipate witnessing the outcomes of these new and expanded initiatives here in our community.”
