ALBANY (WENY) – Funds are being made available to support child care providers in New York State.

This is in an effort to get parents back to work. Roughly $1.1 billion is being made available.

The funds will be through the American Rescue Plan Act and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act.
