“We have the money in the bank. It’s been approved by the voters for this specific use,” she told The Examiner. “Now, we just need to do it.” Mezquita said the pilot program for day care hours beyond the traditional 9-to-5 meets the needs of many parents, including those who work in law enforcement, health care and hospitality. She said the department is now developing guidelines for providers interested in enrolling in the pilot program.
“The problem in our system is not with the amount of time it takes to process the application,” she said. “That’s not what has led to a shortage of child care. The problem is that there’s not enough slots.” Farrell, a former supervisor and interim mayor, said he would commit to improving access to child care for all families, regardless of income, on his first day if elected.
