NEW: To help our network of community-based Early Childhood Education providers manage the effects of the pandemic and the glut of seats in some areas, we have committed to paying all community programs at least 75% of the value of their FY22 contracts with @NYCschools.

In addition, NYC Public Schools and NYC Mayor's Office are partnering to provide 1:1 support from a Rapid Response Team that will help community providers submit invoices and get paid promptly. This is a critical investment in a sector that is a backbone of our communities.
