New Dyckman Childcare

What problem would you like to solve?

Working families and mothers need childcare assistance that is available 24/7. A space that in an emergency they can leave their children.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

There are many mothers that cannot work due to lack of assistance or childcare. It should be made available all days of the week and 24/7 to produce more working homes. This benefits all parties involved.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

A center for children that is open 24/7 with professional staff that can watch children when families are working. Programs can be made in existing spaces.

Who would that help?

The community, single mother households. Children receiving the services. And the government in the long haul.

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Washington Heights/Inwood
