Looking For Child Care Just Got Easier in NYC

New York City families can now use an online mapping tool to find child care near their home.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday launched of a new online child care map and resource center designed to make it easier for families to find, understand and choose child care programs that meet their needs.

Families can visit nyc.gov/childcare to search for child care options citywide using a single platform. The site allows users to filter by location, age group and cost, and provides key details about providers, including services offered, eligibility requirements and contact information.

“Parents already carry so much. For too long, finding child care has meant hours of searching, cross-checking lists and relying on word of mouth. In New York City, finding care for your child shouldn’t feel like a second job,” Mamdani said in a statement. “This tool is about making government work for people — simple, clear and accessible — so every parent can make the best decision for their child.”

The map brings together provider information into one searchable platform. It offers a streamlined, easy-to-use layout that helps families understand their options and take full advantage of the free and affordable care.

The website is available in multiple languages and is fully accessible on mobile devices.
