In New York City, parents of two-year-olds are struggling with average childcare costs of $23,000 per year, which requires an annual income of $334,000 to remain affordable at 7% of household income. This reality has led to a call for the 2-Care initiative to expand existing Pre-K and 3-K programs to include two-year-olds, despite existing challenges in the 3-K system. The lack of affordable childcare is causing families to leave the city, resulting in significant economic losses. Advocates argue that action is necessary now to address this growing crisis.
The 2-Care initiative seeks to expand New York City's Pre-K and 3-K programs to include two-year-olds, addressing the unmet needs of families facing staggering childcare costs.
New York's families can't afford to wait for better child care options. The fight is not about fixing what's existing, but about expanding services for struggling parents.
