San Francisco Expands Childcare Access: Mayor Daniel Lurie Announces New Spots for Free or Discounted Care Mayor Daniel Lurie of San Francisco has expanded childcare access in the city, opening up nearly 750 new spots for free or discounted care. This expansion targets infants and toddlers in various neighborhoods and is part of a broader effort to grow the citys early childhood system by over 8%. Families earning less than 150% of the areas median income (around $230,000) can now access free childcare, while those earning up to 200% ($310,000) receive a 50% subsidy. This move aims to address the high costs of childcare in California, which averages $16,945 per year and is the third highest in the nation for under-twos, who can pay up to $29,000 annually. The expansion is part of the mayors Family Opportunity Agenda, launched in January, to tackle housing, education, and childcare affordability.
