Advocate

Advocating for policies and funding for child care

The Child Care Council advocates for policies and funding that support the needs of families and child care and early education providers. To do this, we engage and educate the public and elected leaders to demonstrate that quality early care and education is an essential investment in children and families, our local economy, and our community.

We invite you to join us in Albany, at meetings with legislators, on virtual advocacy calls, and at in-person budget hearings. From time to time, we also have Voter Voice letters to send. To get involved, check this page for action items, follow us on social media, and contact Executive Director Laura Newman at (914) 761-3456, ext. 102 or lauran@cccwny.org.

Let your elected officials at every level of government know that child care is important to you. Or use our Voter Voice to send a letter. Click on the button below to speak up for child care:
