Op-Ed | Delivering universal after-school care for working families

Working-class families deserve nothing less than a hard-working administration that puts their needs first. And when it comes to child care and after-school programming, this administration has listened to the parents of this city and taken meaningful action to support children and make life more affordable for them.

For too long, too many families have been denied access to affordable child care, including options for young children and after-school programming. Families have struggled due to high costs, forcing them to make hard choices between working to put bread on the table and taking care of their kids, and some have even had to leave the city they love. Parents deserve better, and our administration is delivering for them.
