Early Care & Learning Council and the network of 35 Child Care Resource Centers (CCRCs) applaud Governor Hochul and her administration for the proposed initiatives to make child care more accessible and affordable in New York. Visit our website to read our full statement on the State of the State child care proposals: https://lnkd.in/enhHPvJU

Exciting news for child care! Governor Hochul has proposed a $110M Child Care Construction Fund to help build and expand child care centers across NY. This proposal also includes the creation of a “Substitute Pool” of trusted, vetted professionals who can provide child care, and launching a new coalition to develop a plan for universal child care. These are big wins for families, providers, and children. https://lnkd.in/ecPijJ8q
