NYC Restores $514M Funding for Early Childhood Education After Public Outcry
Apr 19, 2024, 05:07 PM
In a significant development for early childhood education in New York City, Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council have agreed to restore $514 million in funding to 3-K and Pre-K programs, which were at risk due to expiring pandemic aid. This restoration comes after a public outcry and strong advocacy from various council members and community leaders. The funding will also support additional educational initiatives, including $5 million allocated for outreach efforts and $8 million to enhance the MyCity portal, making it easier for parents to apply for subsidized child care. This move is part of a broader push by Democrats across the country to address the child care crisis by making it more affordable and accessible, ensuring caregivers are adequately compensated, and expanding the number of child care slots available.
