The problem: a city that depends on its workers, but does not take care of its children

New York City runs on essential workers. Nurses, delivery drivers, cleaners, home health workers, single mothers, and immigrant fathers keep this city alive. However, when it comes to caring for their children, the system is not up to the task.

• ❌ There is no universal childcare
• ❌ ACS vouchers are frozen
• ❌ Private daycares cost more than $2,000 a month
• ❌ There is no coverage for night shifts or weekends
• ❌ Waiting lists last for months

🔍 According to the NYC Comptroller, the city lost more than $23 billion in productivity in 2025 due to lack of access to childcare. Women were the most affected.

The result? A social crisis disguised as a personal problem.

While politicians talk about equity:

• Mothers should quit their jobs
• Parents abandon studies or dreams
• Children grow up without access to safe and loving spaces
• Migrant families are left out of the system due to impossible procedures.

What should be a right is now an inaccessible privilege for thousands of Bronx families.

The current system is outdated

Main structural failures:

• Limited subsidies that only cover office hours
• Inaccessibility for undocumented families or those with unstable incomes
• Lack of community centers with a cultural focus
• Zero protection for single mothers or informal workers
• Programs that do not reach those who really need them

The Mother Cloud Daycare's response: action, equity, and community

At The Mother Cloud Daycare, we don't wait for the system to include us. We rebuild it from the ground up.

💡 Our actions in response to institutional abandonment:

• We publicly advocate for extended care, unfettered vouchers, and support for immigrants.
• We create night schedules, shift plans, and real emotional care
• We teach families how to apply for benefits, claim their rights, and organize.
• We collaborate with community organizations, churches, and neighborhood networks.
• We offer a hybrid membership + subsidy model that is accessible, humane, and without loss of quality.

We don't ask you for impossible proofs here. We give you possible solutions.
