Childcare providers and community members holding a “Providers Organized for Power” banner.

Providers Organized for Power, in partnership with ECE On The Move, is gathering stories and signatures to address New York’s growing child care waiting list and push for increased funding and support for families and providers.

Childcare providers and community members holding a “Providers Organized for Power” banner.

Across New York, families and child care providers are facing growing challenges as the child care assistance waiting list continues to expand. In partnership with ECE On The Move, we are circulating a community survey and petition to better understand who is being impacted and to lift up real experiences from parents, providers, and advocates.

Responses will help inform collective action and strengthen calls for increased support and funding so that no family is left waiting and providers have the stability they need to sustain their work. Add your voice here.
