NYC Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani Launches Child Care Search Tool for Families
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani on Wednesday announced a new online child care map and resource center to help families find and compare programs across the five boroughs.
The platform allows users to search for providers by location, age group and cost, while offering details on services, eligibility and contact information. Officials said it includes information on about 10,000 providers and features a questionnaire to match families with programs based on their needs.
The tool also provides guides to early childhood programs, including 2-K, 3-K and pre-K, along with inspection records and directions.
The launch comes as the city expands access to child care, including the addition of more than 1,000 new 3-K seats and 2,000 free 2-K seats in select communities.
Officials said the platform was developed with input from parents and will continue to be updated based on feedback.
