Need child care in New York? The city's teacher union wants to help you find your match.

The city's child care landscape is notoriously complex and expensive, with a range of private, home-based, center-based and public options. According to a report from the 5 Boro Institute last year, 80% of families struggle to cover the costs of full-time care, while providers labor under "razor-thin" margins that have pushed some out of business. Policy makers and advocates say child care is a central piece of the affordability crisis driving families out of the city, threatening to destabilize the tax base and the public school system.
