Mayor Eric Adams signs package of child care bills to support working caregivers in New York City
NEW YORK -- Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday signed a package of child care bills aimed at supporting working parents, caregivers and families.
"Struggling to balance child care and the needs of providing for a family is something that no parent should have to go through. Shouldn't be hard to raise a family in our city," Adams said.
The bills call for initiatives ranging from a study on how to make child care more affordable to creating a website with a directory of child care programs and administering an agency to establish a child care grant program.
