Mr. Stringer's proposal to extend the public school day to 4:30 p.m. aims to alleviate the financial burden of child care on working families, ensuring that no family pays more than 7% of their income. This initiative is a part of a broader plan to make child care more affordable, particularly for those who find it financially daunting. Stringer believes this change can be a game-changer, providing much-needed support to working-class New Yorkers.
Stringer emphasizes that the financial pressure of child care is a significant issue for most New Yorkers. His initiative not only seeks to lighten this burden but also to create a partnership between the city, employers, and families, fostering a community approach to support working parents. His aim is to offer a realistic solution that addresses the critical needs of families while expanding educational opportunities within the public school system.
