"The city is dropping $10 million just to renovate the space, and another $2.3 million a year to run it. The kicker? It will serve exactly 40 children."
"At this price, City Hall could simply give each enrolled family a $25,000 child-care credit and still save taxpayers money."
"That's roughly $57,500 per child each year, more than double what many private child-care providers charge in New York."
"It's roughly the price of a Manhattan apartment down payment for a single day-care slot."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a 'free' child-care center for municipal workers, which actually costs taxpayers $10 million for renovations and $2.3 million annually to operate. The center will serve only 40 children, resulting in a staggering cost of $57,500 per child each year. This amount exceeds what many private providers charge and is more than the median household income in many areas. The city could have provided families with a $25,000 child-care credit instead, saving taxpayer money.
