The project on expanding childcare in Tompkins County, NY, discusses a partnership between Cornell University and the Child Development Council. It aims to increase the supply of high-quality, licensed childcare by supporting family and group family care providers. The report includes research, interviews with experts, and case studies focusing on the use of technology and data, the role of a childcare developer, and cross-agency collaboration. Key strategies involve improving childcare management systems, supporting providers, and exploring micro-center opportunities to address the county's childcare needs effectively.
