Description:: REPORT: The number of children in the city's subsidized child care programs has been shrinking in recent years with the implementation of Early Learn and the increased availability of pre-k for 4-year-olds and after-school programs for school-age children that offer alternatives to traditional child care. We look at the changes over the past five years-and with an eye towards new initiatives such as 3-K for All that could present further challenges to the traditional child care programs.
