Offering NYC working families free, high-quality early childhood education is sound social policy and good economic sense. Cuts to these programs compromise children's futures and challenge family stability.
Advocates warn Mayor Adams' proposed cuts would burden families already spending up to 63% of income on child care, impacting children, youth, families, and the city's economic recovery.
Coney Island YMCA, like many sites in NYC, has a waitlist for 3-K, showing high demand for affordable child care. The proposed cuts exacerbate existing challenges.
