14h agoAriel Coronado and his mother, Maria Vasquez, run separate day cares and haven't been paid. They were supposed to be paid for by Highbridge Advisory Council Family Services, but the network shut down.
The city paid the council to provide the day care service.
There was a rally Oct. 2 outside of City Hall demanding the city provide the more than 40 day care providers with 20 weeks of pay.
Coronado and Vasquez are left frustrated over this ordeal.
"For us, it's tricky. We want her [Maria] to be able to retire," Coronado says.
New York City Public Schools issued a statement to News 12 which reads:
“New York City Public Schools expects every contracted Network to pay its affiliated providers, and it is wholly unacceptable that Highbridge Advisory Council Family Services did not disburse its payments from NYCPS as required. They did not respond to our show cause order, and we are moving forward in that process, accordingly, and anticipate having a final resolution shortly. There are no pending payments due to Highbridge from NYC Public Schools, and we are working with NYC Children's Services to connect providers with the most appropriate payment model, which may include affiliating with new Networks, to enable providers to continue to serve our children. We urge all families that need alternative early childhood education placements to reach out to the Office of Student Enrollment for support.”
