NY State Invests in Infant Childcare | Rochester News

New York State is pouring serious cash into childcare—especially for infants—with major new investments hitting Monroe County. The OCFS is expanding the Child Care Assistance Program to help families earning under $116K a year access nearly free care for kids from birth to age three. Meanwhile, the YMCA of Greater Rochester is getting $5 million to add 84 new infant spots and offer full Y memberships to participating families. This push aims to make high-quality, equitable childcare accessible for all, with city leaders cheering on the move as a win for families and the whole community. More details from the YMCA are expected soon. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
