About The Third Webinar on Early Education & Childcare
New York City has the nation’s largest public education system including serving close to 120,000 children under 5 in early care and education (ECE). At CCC, we aim to uplift the education needs of all children and address disparities in access and affordability of child care and early education. While the city has made historic investments in its public ECE system, we know that access to these programs as well as the excessively high costs of child care remain critical issues.
Session 3 of this series presents key trends in early education enrollment, including publicly funded contracted care and vouchers, and child care affordability crisis highlighting the immense need for continued advocacy and investment in ECE programs.
