Join the UFT Family Child Care Providers Chapter
We are the ONLY union representing New York City’s family child care providers
We are the thousands of child care providers serving the hard-working families of our city who have decided to fight back. Joining together with our fellow union members will bring increased wages, fairer regulations and better working conditions.
We’ve already negotiated new important rights and benefits for our members and we will always continue to fight for the dignity and respect we deserve.
