Hello UMAC Families,

Please find below a message from our licensor, the Child Care Council of Westchester.  They are asking for our assistance with proposed cuts to their funding in next year's budget.  Please take a moment to read their message and help out if you can.  Thank you, in advance for your help!  

All the Best,

Master Berlow and Instructor Bergmann

WESTCHESTER WORKS CHILD CARE SCHOLARSHIPS

SLATED FOR 50% CUT

Westchester Works Child Care Scholarship Program was launched in 2022 to help hard-working parents just over-income for child care subsidy/assistance, afford child care, often the biggest bill in the household.

The proposed budget cuts scholarship funding in half.

Take 2 minutes and send your letter asking for restoration of the funding.

And then take 2 more minutes and ask your friends, co-workers, family, etc. to send their letters as well. Just CLICK HERE!

And join us at the Westchester County budget hearings. You can sign up to speak or be a supporter in the audience. The Council will be in the house - look for us. Your elected representatives need to hear from you!

The Mount Kisco Child Care Center and the Ossining Children's Center were represented at last week's opening Budget Hearing with board members and parents. They were awesome. Nearly 230 child care/after school programs have had children with Westchester Works Child Care Scholarships. You need to show up too, especially to the November 20th budget hearing, when the BOL can still add funding back into the proposed budget.
