Today we joined @NYCMayor & @GovKathyHochul to mark a major step for #UniversalChildCare: the launch of 2-K!

While we’re pleased, Policy Director @KyriakouLara notes this expansion, like the children it serves, must be "handled with care."

All Our Kin joined fellow advocates & #ChildCare partners in #Albany for @EmpireStateCCC's Advocacy Day.

We met with elected officials to reiterate the need for increased compensation and benefits for educators, particularly for family child care.

Following @GovKathyHochul's #StateOfTheState, we are encouraged by the focus on strengthening #NY’s #ChildCare system.

Home-based educators are essential to this work, & we're excited to partner with state leaders to ensure they are included & supported in the planning process.

[All Our Kin @AllOurKin]

#NYS is on the path to becoming a leader in #ChildCare!

Moving forward, the 160K+ home-based child care seats across the state need to be included & supported in the planning process.

Affordability & accessibility must work for families & providers. https://t.co/N7ffioIx4t

Important column from @rcobooth on the viability of #UniversalChildCare in #NYC — and a reminder that “Child care infrastructure exists, and it exists in the neighborhoods that need it most.” @JessicaSagerAOK

[Rachel Cohen Booth @rcobooth]

Universal child care in NYC won't be easy. But it's possible, practical, and could give the United States a desperately-needed blueprint

I wrote for @nytopinion about what @ZohranKMamdani will need to get right

[All Our Kin @AllOurKin]

@rcobooth @nytimes @ZohranKMamdani Thank you for recognizing the critical role #FamilyChildCare plays in addressing NYC’s #ChildCareCrisis!

ICE's recent actions at a Chicago child care program are unconscionable.

All Our Kin stands with immigrant educators and families. You are seen, valued, and deserving of safety and respect.

#FamilyChildCare educators like Rebecca power #NYC’s economy—but too many struggle to stay open.

Together, we can build a system that invests in those who make all other work possible.

6 months. 100+ page application. Multiple inspections.
That’s what it takes to open a #familychildcare program in #NYC. The next mayor must fix this.

$10.61 an hour. That’s the median earning for #FamilyChildCare educators in #NYC. NYC’s next mayor must act on fair pay to strengthen the child care system. #DontLeaveUsOutAgai
