AOK Updates: Latest Offerings, State Budget & More

Dear {First Name},

Child care funding negotiations are continuing to take place this week, as legislators work to finalize a state budget. This means that there's still time to TAKE ACTION!

Let’s do our part to push for a universal and affordable child care system that meets the needs of all providers and New York families. Check out this week's newsletter to see how you can call on legislators to make child care a priority in this year's budget, and to see our latest offerings!

We stand with you in solidarity, and send our love, friendship and support.
