Supporting State Child Care Efforts with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Funds
On April 14th 2010, the National Women's Law Center released a report, "Supporting State Child Care Efforts with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Funds," which outlines the many innovative ways that states across the nation are utilizing ARRA monies to support child care. In New York, $1.2 million in ARRA funds has been dedicated to the field testing of QUALITYstars NY, $3 million to support quality in family child care settings, $3.1 million for infant/toddler resource centers for staff capacity-building, and $5 million for an automated child care time and attendance payment system in all counties outside of New York City. For more information on these projects, please contact Jenn O’Connor at joconnor@scaany.org download report
