Director of Child Care Policy Jeremy A. Hoffman testified before the City Council Committees on General Welfare and Women's Issues about the implementation of Early Learn NYC, Mayor Bloomberg’s redesign of the city’s contracted subsidized child care and early childhood education system.

Almost four years after winning their historic first contract, family child care providers represented by the UFT began negotiations in September for a successor agreement with the state.

Unions save lives. Just ask Bronx family child care provider Rosa Martinez. Martinez suffered from two forms of cancer – but beat the disease thanks, in part, to the health insurance won for providers by the UFT.

I had planned every minute of my first day back at school in September, but I hadn't factored in collaboration.

Your union supports you. Now show your solidarity with your union. The UFT’s Family Child Care Providers Chapter is in the midst of an ambitious campaign to sign up every single one of New York City’s 21,000 family child care providers as a card-carrying member of the union.
