A session that started with promise and big ideas to address the needs of New York’s youngest children, their families and the child care workforce ended with numerous bright spots, though challenges remain.
The Low Income Investment Fund applauds the Governor and legislative leaders for prioritizing child care with investments in the workforce and increasing access for families. We are proud to support the early care and education workforce in NYC and share a passion for pushing ahead policies that compensate teachers for their skills, their education and their unwavering devotion to serve their communities. LIIF remains steadfast in our commitment to continuing to expand access and investments in this critical sector, one that every single one of us depends on, regardless of if we have kids or not.
