Governor Hochul has announced additional money for childcare providers in an effort to give parents more and cheaper childcare options in New York State.
She says there will be $343-million federal dollars from a Childcare Provider Stabilization grant that'll go to providers to expand their number of seats and improve employee benefits and wages. Hochul is also launching a multimedia marketing campaign to educate folks on childcare assistance. She says only 12 % of families eligible for childcare assistance are taking advantage of it.
