New York's child care industry is in a state of crisis. 

Many child care centers have already been forced to close, and parents are desperately struggling to access the child care they need. Where child care is still available, it is largely due to a child care workforce so dramatically underpaid that the majority live in poverty. This is not only a cruel system, it is also a dangerously unsustainable foundation for our entire economy.
