Governor Kathy Hochul Expands Child Care Across SUNY Campuses

Yesterday, Governor Kathy Hochul announced a $4.5 million dollar initiative to expand and create high-quality childcare centers across all SUNY campuses for both students and staff. The money for the initiative comes from a distribution of federal and state funding to support the current centers and a program aimed at training the next generation of childcare professionals.

Governor Hochul stated: “Child care services are a critical part of our economic recovery, providing parents much-needed support as they pursue an education or join the workforce. This funding is an important step toward my administration’s goal of eliminating child care deserts across SUNY campuses statewide and adequately investing in our state’s students, faculty, and working parents.”
