"The program, announced by Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani, is a pilot, meaning it's limited in scope, still being tested and could change depending on how it performs."
"To qualify, you must be either a full-time employee of the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), no matter where you work, or a full-time city employee based specifically at 1 Centre Street."
"The city is building a 4,000-square-foot childcare center inside the Municipal Building, with hours from 8am to 6pm, Monday through Friday, year-round."
"Officials estimate families could save upwards of $20,000 per year, roughly equal to the cost of full-time infant care in New York."
A new pilot program in NYC provides free, full-time childcare for a select group of municipal employees, specifically those from the Department of Citywide Administrative Services or based at 1 Centre Street. The program will initially serve about 40 children aged 6 weeks to 3 years, with applications opening on April 30. The childcare center will be located in the Municipal Building and is funded by a $10 million renovation. Families could save approximately $20,000 annually, reflecting the high cost of childcare in New York.
