REACH CYA’s Child Care Program recently received funds from the NYS Office of Children and Family Services “Child Care Stabilization Grant 2.0 for Workforce Support”. The goal of this initiative is to help child care programs build a strong system that attracts, supports, and retains qualified child care staff.

As you know, staff-child ratios are of utmost importance when it comes to Child Care-that’s why it is so incredibly important for staff to report to work on their scheduled days.

This grant will allow us to provide incentives and financially reward staff for their consistent attendance this school year.


Starting December 1, 2022 to June 23, 2023, each REACH CYA Child Care staff member who has perfect attendance in any monthly pay period (The 1st thru the 15th and 16th thru last day of month) will receive a $75 Bonus.

When a pay period consists of only one week each Child Care staff member will receive $50 (Ex., December when there is a Winter Break)

On behalf of REACH CYA and our Board of Directors, we would like to thank you for your dedication and commitment to meeting the needs of the youth and families we serve and for being such an important part of our team.
