Mayor Eric Adams and Department of Education (DOE) Chancellor David C. Banks released an outline for their long-term plans for Early Childhood Education (ECE), along with commitments to pay a significant portion of this fiscal year’s community-based ECE contracts.
Adams and Banks committed to paying at least 75% of the value of Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) DOE contracts for all community-based ECEs, aiming to support these programs while also stabilizing the sector following a decline related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
