Find childcare you can afford, right where you need it
Originally conceived by the UFT as a way for our members to connect with affordable childcare, NYC Childcare Navigator is now a gift from city educators to all residents of the five boroughs.
We are proud to provide this valuable resource amidst the childcare crisis, connecting childcare providers and the families that need them.
Get matched to programs that save you money
With just basic information about you and your family, we’ll see if you qualify for programs that provide free care, low-cost care, or help you pay a family member, friend, or neighbor to watch your child.
Get help completing the dreaded paperwork
If you qualify for any cost-saving programs, we will help you complete and submit your application along with any required paperwork.
Find care you can afford, right where you need it
We have the most comprehensive directory of childcare providers in NYC. Search by zip code, open spots, cost, language, special needs, hours, and more.
