Support Westchester Works Child Care Scholarships
You have an opportunity to thank Westchester County Executive George Latimer and his team, and the Westchester Board of Legislators for funding Westchester Works last year, and again in 2023, and to ask that it continue in 2024.
The County Executive will release his 2024 budget in early November. Right now you can go ahead and make plans to attend one or more of the Board of Legislators' Budget Hearings to support on-going child care funding. Here are the dates and locations:
- November 16th, Warner Public Library, 121 N. Broadway, Tarrytown, NY, 10591 at 6pm.
- November 20th, Chappaqua Performing Arts Center, 480 N. Bedford Rd., Chappaqua, NY, 10514 at
- December 6th, Westchester Board of Legislators Chambers, 8th Floor, 148 Martine Ave, White Plains at 7pm.
Note Nov 16th at Warner Library session starts at 6pm, the other meetings at 7pm. If you want to speak, arrive 45 to 60 mins. ahead of start time, as speakers go in the order in which they sign in.
Lots of ways to participate. You can observe and clap when others talk about the importance of child care. You can tell your child care story (up to 3 minutes) and thank Westchester County for its great support of child care all these years - and again in 2024. You can stand alongside someone else who speaks. Plus you can bring your children.

Thanks!
