All Our Kin

Today we joined @NYCMayor & @GovKathyHochul to mark a major step for #UniversalChildCare: the launch of 2-K! While we’re pleased, Policy Director @KyriakouLara notes this expansion, like the children it serves, must be "handled with care." Statement: bit.ly/46GXaZ4

All Our Kin joined fellow advocates & #ChildCare partners in #Albany for @EmpireStateCCC's Advocacy Day. We met with elected officials to reiterate the need for increased compensation and benefits for educators, particularly for family child care. #NYSUniversalChildCare

Proud to be included among a select group of organizations featured in this timely new guide from @BridgespanGroup, highlighting how philanthropy can help young children & families thrive. Check it out: bridgespan.org/insights/criti… #FamilyChildCare #ChildCare #Nonprofit #philanthropy

Following @GovKathyHochul's #StateOfTheState, we are encouraged by the focus on strengthening #NY’s #ChildCare system. Home-based educators are essential to this work, & we're excited to partner with state leaders to ensure they are included & supported in the planning process.

#NYS is on the path to becoming a leader in #ChildCare! Moving forward, the 160K+ home-based child care seats across the state need to be included & supported in the planning process. Affordability & accessibility must work for families & providers. bit.ly/4qJjRmK

ICE's recent actions at a Chicago child care program are unconscionable. All Our Kin stands with immigrant educators and families. You are seen, valued, and deserving of safety and respect. bit.ly/4r6bK51

6 months. 100+ page application. Multiple inspections. That’s what it takes to open a #familychildcare program in #NYC. The next mayor must fix this. Read our recommendations w/ @ECEOnTheMove: bit.ly/435FdBH #DontLeaveUsOutAgain @ZohranKMamdani @andrewcuomo @CurtisSliwa
