Welcome to the Empire State Campaign for Child Care

We are a statewide coalition of parents, child care educators, and advocates who believe that every family in New York State deserves high-quality, universal child care and that every child care educator deserves to earn a thriving wage.

Child care providers are the backbone of our communities—and yet, many still earn poverty-level wages. It’s time to change that. 

Support the Child Care Workforce

From January 27 – February 12, 2025, the Empire State Campaign for Child Care surveyed more than 1,250 child care programs from across New York State on the impact staffing shortages have had on their programs’ ability to serve families in their area.
