Good morning. It’s Amy with Chalkbeat New York.
All eyes are on NYC’s ambitious effort to bring free childcare to about 2,000 2-year-olds this fall. The city will rely on home-based providers, but might hit a bureaucratic snag: These providers must part of a larger network, and getting them to join a network might not be so easy. How Mayor Zohran Mamdani navigates this challenge could shape how effectively the city stands up its 2-K program.
We want to hear from childcare providers: Are you planning to sign up for the city’s free 2-K program? Email us: [email protected].
