PEACE, Inc. staff and families join more than 400 other advocates for 2024 Child Care Advocacy Day

PEACE, Inc. staff members and their families went to Albany yesterday for the Empire State Campaign for Child Care’s 2024 Advocacy Day. Alongside local partners and advocates including the Early Childhood Alliance of CNY; Child Care Solutions of CNY; Partners in Learning, Inc.; the Salvation Army; and Micron Technologies, critical conversations/education took place with lawmakers and with a public rally. Among the most important calls raised: the importance of investing in the child care workforce and the need to make it easier for families to access quality early childhood child care and education.

It was a great day for PEACE, Inc. and our community yesterday, as NYS Governor Kathy Hochul, Onondaga County Executive J. Ryan McMahon, and Micron Chief People Officer announced their continuing commitment towards affordable childcare in our region. As part of the event, Micron pledged continued financial support to PEACE, Inc. and Child Care Solutions of CNY’s Early Childhood Career Pathways Program, which has helped open 34 Home Family Daycares and create 280 to 560 childcare slots in our community over the past 4 years. We thank the Governor, Micron, and our local officials for their commitment towards our community’s future.
