Governor Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday that over $70 million for child care will go to 344 brand new child care providers. This will create over 12,000 new slots for families in need across New York state.
With an emphasis on over 500 slots open during nontraditional hours, Hochul stated the importance of this, “…because our essential workers have to work in healthcare settings around the clock. They are cleaning our hotel rooms and our restaurants. […] They’re driving buses, they’re out there making this city and state run.”
