Congratulations to all the Children's Champions honorees: Ileana Eckert, Janet Fenton, Donna Dorvil, Maria Rodriguez Vega, Youth Services Librarians (RCLS); and congratulations to Karen Martinez and to all the CDA recipients!

These are special programs established by the New York State Education Department and the local school districts to provide a preschool experience for the children of eligible families.

Quality child care gives children skills that create a lifetime of benefits for them, their families and the community. When children are happy and safe, parents can be productive at work, thus improving the quality of life for their families and contributing to our economic vitality. Quality child care matters!

April is the Month of the Child! We're celebrating children by offering 4 FREE seminars during the month of April. We provide high quality trainings to meet the needs of all those who work with young children and families. Learn more about our interactive and engaging seminars and trainings.

We help parents to better understand the different types of child care options available. We also provide parents with child care search tools and methods for program evaluation.
