With 25 years of impact in the sector and a focus on scaling our early care and education (ECE) work across New York City’s five boroughs, we are excited and proud to join visionary leaders from business, labor and other nonprofits as part of this new collective impact initiative, Better Child Care NYC. We are aligned in our belief that policy interventions that support facilities development and improve conditions for families – running the gamut from increasing tax credits and extending hours to allowing centers above ground floors and streamlining the permit process – will ensure access to affordable, high-quality ECE for all New York City families and children, no matter their ZIP code.
