Campaign for Children 2013
Every child in New York City deserves access to safe, high quality, affordable, educational child care and after school programs.
Here We Go Again
On January 29, 2013, Mayor Bloomberg released his final Preliminary Budget for 2014. The Mayor’s preliminary budget would eliminate child care and after-school programs for more than 47,000 children.
“We must invest in the quality of child care and after-school programs and ensure that these programs are available for all who need them. However, it can’t be at the expense of over 40,000 of our city’s children. Mayor Bloomberg must preserve commitment to New York’s working families – he must revise the budget to keep children learning” said Robin Bernstein, President & CEO of the Educational Alliance.

“I’m a single parent and I work full-time. If I didn’t have a place for my daughter to go every day, I wouldn’t have any other option but to leave my job and stay home to take care of her. And if that happened, I would lose my apartment,” said Tiffany Rodriguez, the parent of 3 year-old daughter who attends the Educational Alliance’s Day Care program at Lillian Wald.
