Chinese American Planning Council

Across the street from City Hall, Chinese American Planning Council upholds a long-running commitment to early care and education across multiple neighborhoods. Programs span infant and toddler care, universal pre-K, after-school enrichment, family support services, and senior center partnerships that link generations. Immigrant families in Lower Manhattan rely on the agency to navigate licensing, subsidies, and developmental screenings while maintaining community-based oversight of program quality. The organization’s footprint stretches well beyond a single facility, stitching together public funds and local volunteers to keep slots accessible.
