Family Childcare City Hall Press Conference
Mon Dec 9, 10:00 AM - Mon Dec 9, 1:00 PM

Congressman Adriano Espaillat, representing New York's 13th Congressional District will join ECE On The Move - a growing group of Family Child Care Providers who have united to advocate for themselves - On December 9th to announce A Day Without Family Child Care and the Movement behind it.

Family Child Care in NYC has represented the largest modality of care for children and yet are the most under-represented and under-paid. During the Mayor's implementation of the 4K For All and now 3K programming, Infant and Toddler Deserts are on the rise. Experienced and valuable Family Child Care Providers are forced to close their businesses for good.

At this Press Conference, ECE On The Move will call attention to the moral and economic imperative of making sure that Family Child Care Providers are willing participants in the City’s plans, are highly visible as the optimum choice as they have always been for families, earn the respect as a child’s earliest caregiver and educator and importantly can earn livable wages.

A Day Without Family Child Care is a part of advocacy efforts. The Press Conference for December 9th is for public awareness on the effects of Free UPK on the nation and city’s largest and oldest modality of child care and how it may go into extinction unless major issues are addressed.

NYC cannot work if Family Child Care cannot afford to keep its doors open.
