The Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) has rejected Island Kids' application to become a Learning Bridges site with no explanation. But we are not giving up!

It is clear that DYCD has no understanding of the unique childcare needs of Roosevelt Island families due to our geographic location. Providing parents with one option, away from the Island, exacerbates the stressful circumstances that families are currently living under.

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION AND LET THE DECISION MAKERS KNOW HOW CRITICAL THIS PROGRAM IS TO ROOSEVELT ISLAND FAMILIES!!!
