New York Child Care: It’s Everybody’s Business
On October 16, 2007, at a public hearing in Buffalo, New York, child care providers and advocates testified before the chairpersons of the Assembly Standing Committees on Labor, Children & Families, and Social Services. The public hearing in Buffalo was the second in a series of statewide hearings held to examine efforts made by New York State to provide quality child care and to determine what other steps are necessary to ensure the provision of high quality, affordable and accessible child care for working families. Members of the Buffalo Quality Child Care Team, including Cornell staff, testified on the access to quality child care for working families.
