"If we believe in our city’s future, we must invest in our children and families, starting with a full reversal of these cuts.” Thanks Tammy Rose and Woodside Friends for being there for so many families in our community. qns.com/2024/06/counci…

Fifteen of the city’s labor unions, including some closely aligned with Mayor Adams, wrote a letter to the mayor asking him to restore funding to 3K and pre-K. politico.com/newsletters/ne…

Today I visited the Coney Island YMCA to do 2 of my favorite things: talk about the importance of early childhood education & read kids a book about cute raccoons. City Hall MUST fully restore the $170 million in proposed cuts to our city's vital & vibrant 3-K and Pre-K programs.

Offering New York City working families free, high-quality early childhood education options is smart social policy, and it makes economic sense. That's why New York City Council is fighting hard to restore $170M in puzzling cuts made to popular 3-K and Pre-K programs like this one!

Thousands of children who need high-quality child care do not have access. Thousands with disabilities can't get support. Thousands of families are considering leaving the City due to high costs and even more are being pushed into poverty. We need fully-funded Universal 3K now.

This morning, I was joined by my incredible colleagues, members of labor, advocates, and parents at our rally calling on Mayor Eric Adams to fully invest in early childhood education. The message was clear: it's time to put our youngest New Yorkers and working-class families first.

CPC joined Education Committee Chair Rita Joseph, Adrienne Adams, members of the New York City Council, advocates, and allies in calling for a full investment in early childhood education- including a restoration of $170 million- in the final city budget.

Thank you to Sarah Clark and Pete Nabozny for highlighting the need to end the red tape that makes it difficult for families to access child care. We need Governor Hochul to sign these bills today! spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/rochester/…

Check out our resources about the decoupling bill, which would end the practice of tying parents' exact work hours to when they can receive child care assistance. We've got a podcast: apple.co/3Z8YaSK And this awesome video explaining the bill!

Early childhood educators lay the foundation for academic success, and their work is essential to empowering working families to thrive in NYC. This tentative agreement is a step in the right direction for this critical workforce. Congratulations to Day Care Council of New York and District Council 37 #UnionStrong!
