The Council is pleased to release a new report, Access to Child Care:  The Key to Economic Recovery in Westchester County, which lays out the extreme challenges so many Westchester working families face in securing and paying for safe, quality child care.    Over 114,000 children under 13 live in households where both parents work, and few parents can afford Westchester child care prices.  At the same time, the child care workforce is among the most poorly paid of any profession.   Acknowledging the new appreciation of child care as integral to restarting our economy, the report includes recommendations for a stronger child care system in our county.

Hurricane Ida had a devastating impact on Westchester County. The aftermath of the storm is still affecting residents throughout the County. During these challenging times, we want to connect you to resources to help businesses, nonprofits and residents rebuild and recover.

Help For Those Impacted By Hurricane Ida

With the recent rise in COVID-19 cases and the uncertainty of the virus, the Council has decided to postpone the Park & Play event. The decision to postpone Park & Play was difficult but ultimately it is the decision that is best for the health of our staff and community. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please stay tuned for details on a future date.
