New York City Mayoral Candidate's Plan for Universal Childcare

Published October 9, 2024 | Video Starts at 01:16

You pay providers a dignified wage that reflects the important role they play and you close the baby word gap to set children up for their future. As a state senator, I expanded funding to child care programs to ensure that middle class families were included. And I created pilot programs to help parents working unconventional hours get help too. For the past three years, I've been the lead sponsor of the Early Learning Child Care Act. (01:16–01:23)
