Lingering Challenges in the Child Care Sector

STAFF SHORTAGES, HIGH PRICES AND TOO FEW SLOTS

New York’s child care sector continues to face lingering challenges post-pandemic including child care deserts, low wages for child care workers and high prices that are putting a financial strain on families statewide. Yet even with high prices, many providers operate on thin margins, with financial and regulatory pressures that make expansion or even operating at capacity challenging. Vigorous federal support and additional State efforts are necessary to improve the availability of child care.


State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli quote: "It's important to have transparency so New Yorkers are empowered with information they need to hold their elected officials accountable."
