In New York, low-income families, urban communities, and rural areas are suffering from a lack of childcare. This inadequacy leads to the formation of childcare deserts; areas where families do not have access to childcare. Because of the vague guidelines proposed by federal grants, New York has misused federal funds, which has led to the continuance of childcare deserts. This Note proposes specifying federal funding guidelines, which can better allocate funds to needy families, as well as creating a volunteer program for high school students to create before and aftercare programs in public schools.

现在是下午 3:00，你知道你的孩子在哪里吗？纽约因联邦资金使用不当导致儿童保育沙漠持续存在

在纽约，低收入家庭、城市社区和农村地区正遭受缺乏托儿服务的困扰。这种不足导致了育儿沙漠的形成；家庭无法获得托儿服务的地区。由于联邦拨款提出的含糊指导方针，纽约滥用了联邦资金，这导致了托儿沙漠的继续存在。本说明建议制定联邦资助指南，以便更好地将资金分配给有需要的家庭，并为高中生创建一个志愿者计划，以便在公立学校创建课前和课后项目。
