State is now providing free daycare for folks it appears.
"The school, known as Educare, will open in Brownsville and serve children between 6 weeks and 5 years old, mimicking schools that have been created in 17 other cities. The one envisioned for New York will include a “leadership institute” to carry out research in early childhood education, city officials said."
I wonder if these folks will go on strike demanding 70K a year soon for their teaching skills...........
"At Educare, children are broken into classes by age group, Ms. Alter said. Staffing ratios are also set by age. Children will be exposed to linguistics to foster cognitive development, and their interaction will help build social development. For the youngest children, one of the first things teachers do is to hold them and talk to them while looking into their eyes, said Diana Mendley Rauner, the president of the Ounce of Prevention Fund, an early-learning advocacy organization."
The article states the Educare programs are funded by private donations in other states. Of course in NY they don't know how they will fund it. Probably start taxing burgers.
"The operational costs of the school have not yet been determined, since the model is still being put into place. But those costs will be covered by existing federal and state grant programs, with another 20 percent streaming in from private donations, Education Department officials said."
They don't know how much it will cost but say it will be funded by existing grants. Well what were those grants for in the first place because this didn't exist so it can't be for this. And what private donations. More nonsense that will fall at the feet of the taxpayers in the end like always and they will cry they need more money in a year or so that much is almost a guarantee.

They know the first year's cost. It isn't cheap.

To expand 4,000 prekindergarten seats to full-day seats, from half-day ones, will cost the city $20 million, officials said. The city will devote up to $10 million to setting up Educare, and private foundations will also contribute.
Exactly. No wonder some kids have no chance. If they aren't killed before they're born they just get handed off to some strangers every day to stare at their eyes.
Day care is necessary when one wants to work. Sounds like you'd rather they stay home and collect welfare. Make up your mind.
I used daycare with all my kids and didn't stay home and collect welfare. I paid for it myself. You want to pay for somebody elses daycare then you do it. Where the hell were you when my kids were little?? I would have gladly let you pay my weekly bill and twins to boot.

And what if you can't afford day care?
