@dailymail: New York City will eliminate out-of-pocket child care fees for around 22,000 families receiving subsidized care, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced. The change, taking effect in September, will cover the weekly costs currently paid by families on a sliding scale, with the city putting $5.2 million toward the first year. Mamdani said the move is part of his broader push for universal child care, following the rollout of the city's first free 2-K program. #mamdani #nyc #news #childcare #newyork
