About the Community Childcare Connection:
Childcare is a vital support for parents and caregivers – it helps them to pursue employment, education,
and stable housing while knowing their children are cared for in a developmentally appropriate setting.
However, for many in NYC, childcare can be unaffordable. That’s why WHEDco is partnering with New
York City government to expand access to childcare assistance, which helps families cover the cost of
care; in the City’s highest need areas through the Community Childcare Connection (C4) initiative.
Through this project, WHEDco will build awareness among family-serving partner organizations and
community members about the availability of childcare assistance; help likely-eligible caregivers apply
for support; and connect hundreds of families to subsidized childcare
