This report describes how FCC educators\u2014who serve infants, toddlers, and families with nontraditional work hours\u2014remain underfunded, undervalued, and frequently excluded from major policy and investment decisions. It outlines persistent challenges, including unstable contracts, delayed payments, rising operating costs, and inequitable reimbursement structures. We call on city leaders to create sustainable funding, strengthen workforce supports, and meaningfully include FCC providers in planning and decision-making to ensure high-quality, culturally responsive, neighborhood-based care for NYC\u2019s families.
