child care

The cuts could affect hundreds of thousands of households in New York alone, according to state officials.

The announcement represents a step towards the mayor’s campaign pledge of free universal child care.

The Department of Health and Human Services froze some child care funding to New York and some other Democrat-run states over concerns of fraud.

The mayor-elect spoke with Gothamist following his historic election win.

Families who qualify based on income can get reduced child care or after-school services, but the program ballooned over its budget.

The death at an apartment-based Bronx day care inspired legislation now awaiting Gov. Kathy Hochul's signature.

After a dust-up with the state over who should pay to keep families getting low-cost care, the city will need to contribute more funds.

First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro said new families who qualify for child care subsidies based on their income will be put on a wait list.

The mayor is pushing what he calls the "best budget ever" while facing a difficult path to re-election.

Adams said he plans to expand after-school to 20,000 students in kindergarten through fifth grade over the next three years.
