Affordable child care that works for families, employers, and providers.

Empire State Child Care Share Program

Three partners.
One solution.
For every family.

Empire State Child Care Share is a new approach to making child care more affordable and accessible. By sharing the cost of care among families, employers, and New York State, this program helps parents stay in the workforce, supports businesses in retaining employees, and ensures child care providers are paid reliably. It’s a simple idea with real impact — when the cost of care is shared, everyone benefits.
