"I support changing Rye zoning laws to allow for a new daycare facility to serve the families of Rye.
Some zoning laws in Rye are dated and limited. They are preventing daycare centers from being built in spaces that are currently available and appropriate for use.
I am in favor of the city council opening an investigation into the impact of changing these zoning laws to make way for much needed child care in Rye."
GOAL: To obtain more than 1,000 signatures by Wednesday, May 9th at 6:30p ET to show in support of our mission at the Rye City Council Meeting.
THANK YOU very much for supporting your fellow Rye families!

I really thought this might just fizzle out in a quiet corner of the internet but seeing so many people jumping on board has completely floored me. It makes the prospect of staring down the city council feel a lot less lonely and I honestly cannot stop refreshing the page to see who else is joining the cause.

Rye has needed daycare facilities for years. It’s time to recognize our changing community of two parent working households. If we want to keep young families in Rye, providing excellent care for their children is a must.
Crucial for duel working parents. Something that is increasingly necessary in Rye as housing prices and taxes continue to climb. More importantly, gives parents the option to work or not work.
We have no options for a family group daycare facility in Rye. The few locations are booked with a waiting list of 2 years or longer. The only daycare facility, different from a group daycare, is full and shutting down.
We need more daycare options in Rye - having to drive 15+ minutes to find a suitable daycare option that works for working parents is extremely inconvenient and unfortunate. I recently moved to Rye and didn't expect to have to deal with this type of issue. The Rye community deserves better and so do our children.
Little Angels was a much loved and invaluable home away from home for my preschoolers. Our choice in childcare was made largely due to convenience as most other options are out of town. We are so sad Rye is losing this support.
Yes we need daycare facilities here
It’s time!
