It says the parents don't have to pay, not the educators don't get paid. There's such a thing called *public funding*

NYC has enough rich people to afford this sort of thing now that their luxury homes no longer get tax exemptions.

Where does it say it's free?

Why not just read the article? It's pretty short.

Summary:

NYC has childcare vouchers for people earning less than 85% of the median income (which works out to <114k/yr for a family of 4). Depending on how much lower than that amount they make, it can cost anywhere from $0/wk to $15/wk.

Mamdani got rid of the copay entirely. Now it's free for anyone that qualifies for the voucher.

There are about 100k families using this service, but only ~22k paid a copay based on their income.

This change will cost the city ~$5.2M.

RIP buddies attention span and therefore the future of humanity.
