A
B
Good
morning,
everyone
I
had
been
hoping
that
miss
yamali
would
say
a
little
bit
more
about
herself,
so
I'm
going
to
spend
some
time
there
first.
This
is
an
incredible
incredible
program
that
she
has
run
now
for
30
years
and
some
of
the
staff
and
team
members
here
have
been
here
from
the
very
beginning
and
the
founding
of
this
program.
B
B
It,
as
you
can
see,
reflects
boston
in
so
many
ways
in
the
design
of
the
the
play
structure,
which
has
a
little
gesture
to
the
zakum
bridge.
There's
our
little
citgo
sign
the
mbta
map
over
there,
and
we
wanted
to
create
this
space
a
number
of
years
ago,
because
this
is
what's
important
about
the
building
here
is
we
are,
are
focused
on
our
young
people,
the
future
of
our
city
and
a
future
that
reflects
all
of
boston
right
within
these
classrooms.
B
The
work
that
happens
here,
the
learning
the
care,
the
love,
is
absolutely
amazing,
and
I
know
it
personally
because
both
of
my
boys
came
through
this
program
from
my
older
son,
who
couldn't
wait
to
jump
out
of
from
every
surface
out
here
in
very
scary
ways
to
my
younger
one,
who
is
very
shy
and
the
only
person
in
the
world
that
he
would
go
to
besides
me
was
annie,
who
has
been
the
baby
whisperer
in
the
in
the
baby
room,
the
infant
room
for
decades.
B
B
The
pro
the
policy
that
he
put
in
place
would
require
that
any
new
commercial
buildings
being
built
office,
buildings
being
built
downtown
and
in
the
surrounding
downtown
area.
Neighborhoods,
would
include
child
care
on
site
or
require
resources
to
create
child
care
in
the
area
and
to
make
sure
that
the
city
would
put
its
money
where
its
mouth
was
as
well.
B
B
B
Return
to
more
about
ambassador
flynn
and
all
of
my
colleagues
here,
I
will
just
ground
us
also
that
this
is
a
continuation
of
our
efforts
that
we've
been
very
proud
to
launch
under
the
leadership
of
kristen
mcswain,
who
is
our
director
of
early
childhood
for
the
city
of
boston,
a
new
office
that
was
created
to
focus
on
this
work.
A
few
weeks
ago,
kristen-
and
I
and
and
many
of
the
leaders
gathered
here
today-
were
in
chinatown
at
the
acorn
child
care
center
run
by
the
boston,
chinatown
neighborhood
center.
B
Then,
alongside
a
coalition
of
universal
pre-k
and
early
education
providers
and
city
leaders,
we
announced
a
20
million
dollar
investment
to
expand
early
childhood
education
through
the
boston,
public
schools
and
our
boston
universal
pre-k
program.
And
today
we
are
at
a
different
child
care
center,
one
that
is
run
by
bcyf.
The
boston
center
for
youth
and
families
and
directly
serves
the
families
working
for
the
city
of
boston.
B
Many
work
non-traditional
hours
that
some
of
our
centers
can't
accommodate
or
don't
have
options
in
their
neighborhoods
or
communities,
and
then
they
rely
on
an
informal
network
of
family
and
friends
when
people
would
prefer
a
formal
care
arrangement
for
that
predictability
and
structure
and
the
process
for
following
through
on
this
zoning
amendment
and
determining
just
how
much
funding
and
resources
should
go
to
child
care.
Programs
has
not
been
as
transparent
as
it
could
be.
B
This
order
modernizes
our
zoning
language
by
reflecting
the
needs
of
a
changing
child
care
sector,
one
where
families
are
looking
for
licensed
high
quality
care
across
all
of
our
neighborhoods,
and
it
will
help
create
a
more
transparent,
clear
process
in
collaboration
with
the
bpda
and
our
office
of
early
childhood,
we're
creating
consistency
here
for
all
parties
and
securing
more
predictable
funding
for
child
care
programs
across
our
city.
At
a
time
where
our
economic
recovery
depends
on
families
being
able
to
access
that
care.
B
These
investments
will
be
managed
by
the
director
of
our
office
for
early
childhood,
christine
mcswain
and
the
office
will
distribute,
grant
funding
to
expand
and
improve
existing
providers
and
create
new
ones.
It
will
also
help
us
invest
in
climate
resilience,
energy
efficiency
and
environmental
justice
improvements
right
at
our
child
care
centers,
where
that
improvement
in
health
and
well-being
will
go
a
long
way
for
our
littlest
learners.
B
As
it
stands
right
now,
this
order
will
apply
to
14
existing
zoning
districts
centered
around
the
downtown
area.
But
we
know
that
when
it
comes
to
boston's
families
and
youngest
leaders,
we
have
to
think
as
expansively
as
possible
in
the
long
term
and
that's
why
we're
planning
to
look
at
the
underlying
zoning
code
to
make
sure
these
provisions
match
our
dynamic
development
sector
while
meeting
the
needs
of
all
of
our
neighborhoods
across
the
city.
B
C
B
And
now
I
will
pass
it
over
to
the
leader
whose
vision
and
foresight
and
commitment
to
boston's
families
brought
us
to
this
point
and
has
served
so
many
families.
I'd
like
to
introduce
ambassador
and
former
mayor
ray
flynn,
who'll
be
followed
by
city
council
president
ed
flynn
and
then
city
councilor,
liz
braden
in
remarks.
D
D
D
D
D
I
remember
early
early
early
in
my
administration
walking
out
the
back
door
there
I
met
a
fellow
that
I
knew
was
the
laborer
and
he
said
he
worked
for
the
city
he
said,
but
I
have
to
he
has
to
leave
because
he
had
to
go
home
to
take
care
of
his
kids,
his
mother,
his
mother.
Now
who
was
sick,
she
couldn't
stay
with
the
kids,
so
I
and
he
said
I
have
to
go
to
an
alcoholic
program.
D
D
D
D
You
made
it
happen
if
you
got
family
friends,
neighbors
back
in
charlestown,
roxby,
east
boston
and
they've
been
with
us
for
a
number
of
years,
police
say
the
old
time
mayor
said
this.
The
great
programs
of
boston
were
brought
about
because
of
your
support,
your
awareness,
your
commitment,
this
building
this
program
belongs
to
the
people
who
made
it
happen,
and
I
just
was
very
lucky
to
be
there
at
the
time.
God
bless
you
all.
E
E
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
my
counselor
colleague,
that's
here,
counselor
brayden
from
the
alston
brighton
area.
Thank
my
other
counselors
for
their
work
in
working
with
the
woo
administration
to
make
sure
child
care
is
a
priority.
So,
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues,
we
want
to
say
a
special
thank
you
to
the
to
maya,
wu,
her
administration
and
to
the
wonderful
workers
that
educate
and
teach
our
young
children
every
day,
we're
so
fortunate
to
have
wonderful
leadership
here
at
this
child
care
center.
B
F
Thank
you,
mayor
wu,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
leadership.
We
all
understand
how
incredibly
difficult
the
past
few
years
have
been
with
the
covid
epidemic
and
how
extremely
challenging
it
has
been
for
families
and
the
folks
who
work
in
the
child
care
sector.
So
I
really
appreciate
your
leadership
in
in
expanding
and
improving
access
to
child
care
across
our
city
and
making
a
significant
investment
of
our
arpa
money
into
this
sector,
because
this
is
where
it's
truly
needed
at
farmers,
markets
and
libraries
and
community
events.
All
across
my
district
in
austin
brighton.
F
I
hear
directly
from
families
and
caregivers
on
on
their
concerns
about
the
affordability
and
accessibility
crisis
of
our
child
care
ecosystem,
and
so
I
really
want
to
also
honor
and
respect
the
the
leadership
of
former
mayor
flynn,
ambassador
flynn
for
his
leadership
many
decades
ago
in
in
really
initiating
this.
This
pro
this
program
and
now
is
the
time
to
put
more
juice
in
the
tank
so
to
speak
and
really
expand
and
improve
child
care.
F
It's
critically
important
for
families,
it's
critic
critically
important
for
businesses
and
employers,
and
it's
critically
important
for
the
long-term
economic
and
growth
of
our
city.
So,
thank
you
all
very
much
and
I
look
forward
to
working
and
collaborating
as
in
every
way
I
can
to
improve
child
care
and
also
the
other
issues
that
impact
our
families
in
the
city,
accessible
access
to
affordable
housing
and
quality
schools,
it's
very,
very
important
for
the
growth
of
our
city
and
our
future
prosperity.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I'm
going
to
lead
us
through
the
rest
of
today's
program,
and
I
want
to
start
by
introducing
devin
quirk,
who
is
the
bpda
deputy
chief
of
development
and
transformation,
he's
going
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
the
role
that
bpda
is
playing
in
this
process.
H
Thank
you,
kristin
and
thank
you
mayor
wu
for
your
leadership
on
this
important
issue
for
boston's
families.
I'm
devin
quirk,
deputy
chief
of
the
bpda
at
first.
I
just
want
to
say
it's
really
heartwarming
to
be
back
here
at
city
hall
daycare.
I
really
miss
this
place.
Like
marawu,
my
children
spent
much
of
almost
all
of
their
first
four
years
growing
up
in
this
place
and
so
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
I
really
want
to
thank
mayor
flynn,
ambassador
flynn,
for
having
the
vision
to
establish
this
place.
H
H
The
first
regulation
requiring
the
inclusion
of
daycare
facilities
as
part
of
the
development
projects
in
boston
was
passed
in
1989..
It
was
visionary
at
its
time
and
it
was
very
well
intentioned.
However,
over
time,
we've
realized
that
the
existing
regulations
are
a
bit
vague
which
led
to
the
difficulty
enforcing
them
as
well
as
difficulty
complying
with
them.
This
is
a
theme
that
is
lies
across
too
many
of
our
development
regulations
in
boston.
Lack
of
clarity
leads
to
one-off
decisions
that
are
not
transparent,
not
accountable,
not
predictable,
so
under
mayor
will's
direct
direction.
We're
changing
this.
H
The
mayor's
new
executive
order
will
establish
clear,
transparent,
clear,
transparent
formula
that
will
allow
the
bpda
to
work
with
the
office
of
early
childhood
and
the
development
community
to
make
sure
that
child
care
obligations
are
met
and
to
further
leverage,
boston's
strong,
real
estate
market
for
the
benefit
of
bostonians,
who
need
our
help.
The
most
in
this
case
boston's
parents
and
children.
The
child
care
provision
will
be
managed
and
discussed
throughout
the
article
80
process,
similar
to
all
other
development
considerations
like
climate
resiliency,
carbon
neutrality
and
affordability.
H
The
issues
the
mayor
mentioned,
and
it's
a
simple,
smart
and
transparent
fix
to
what
has
been
an
opaque
process.
It
is
exactly
the
type
of
clear
strategic
direction
that
the
bpda
needs
to
provide
on
development
decisions
to
help
ensure
a
more
equitable
growth
of
our
city.
So
I
want
to
thank
everyone.
That's
been
involved
with
getting
the
executive
order
to
this
stage
and
on
behalf
of
the
bpda
we
are
eager
to
implement
it
with
that
turn
it
back
to
kristin.
G
Thank
you,
devin.
There
are
other
people
who
actually
help
us
think
through
policy,
and
a
lot
of
them
are
advocates
outside
of
city
hall.
So
our
next
speaker
is
sarah
jimenez,
who
comes
to
us
from
community
labor,
united
and
the
care
that
works
coalition.
G
I
I
I
I
know
the
care
that
works
and
our
partners
with
us
today
are
just
so
excited
and
grateful
to
the
whole
team
that
pulled
this
win
over
the
line,
and
I
do
have
to
give
out
a
shout
out
too,
as
well
to
the
team
of
now
graduated
tufts
university
students
that
wrote
a
truly
incredible
research
report
on
the
history
of
this
piece
of
our
city's
zoning
code.
I
A
city
is
a
bit
bigger
than
a
village,
but
the
idea
stands
from
a
distance.
You
notice
the
skyline
from
the
ground.
We
see
the
cranes
in
the
sky
and
the
rising
steel
beams,
but
looking
closer,
a
construction
worker
woke
up
at
four
in
the
morning
and
drove
her
kids
to
their
grandmother's
house
on
the
way
to
her
work
site
and
their
grandmother
will
watch
them
and
organize
breakfast
before
they
go
to
their
family
child
care
provider.
I
I
I
I
Thankfully,
mayor
wu
does
not
treat
this
question
rhetorically
and,
as
we've
heard,
this
executive
order
is
only
one
is
only
the
latest
example
and
here's
why
it's
a
crucial
one
from
the
federal
government
and
the
state
government.
We
need
billions
of
dollars
from
our
city.
We
need
bold
and
transformative
thinking.
I
I
G
Thank
you,
sarah,
so,
as
our
previous
speakers
have
laid
out
for
you,
this
is
a
really
exciting
day
for
the
office
of
early
childhood.
It
is
another
step
forward
in
building
the
long-term
infrastructure,
that's
needed
to
support
families,
children,
child
care
providers
and
others
in
the
city
of
boston.
D
B
Sorry,
the
resources
for
the
creation
of
childcare
off-site
on
average,
according
to
the
size
of
buildings
that
are
in
the
pipeline,
and
you
know,
average
across
a
bunch
of
different
things.
It
is
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
child
care
off-site
for
every
new
large
commercial
downtown
office,
building
about
the
sort
of
pace
of
the
pipeline
right
now
in
terms
of
how
many
buildings
are
likely
to
be
permitted
every
year
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
B
That
adds
up
to
an
estimate
of
somewhere
between
800
000
and
a
little
over
a
million
dollars
per
year
contributed
to
the
office
of
early
childhood
to
be
able
to
supplement
child
care
creation
efforts.
Now
this
could
allow
for
programs
in
the
community
that
need
funding
to
expand
a
little
bit.
For
example,
what
we
saw
in
chinatown,
where
the
boston
chinatown
neighborhood
center
had
a
building
with
empty
classrooms,
because
they
didn't
have
the
resources
to
staff
them.
B
This
could
help
them
unlock
that
space
and
provide
funding
to
be
used
for
staffing
and
curriculum,
and
all
that
it
could
provide
for
partnerships
for
providers
or
organizations
who
want
to
create
child
care
directly
in
a
different
space
or
in
partnership
with
a
different
development,
and
I
think
how
this
impacts
people
I
mean,
I'm
always
filled
with
emotions
coming
back
to
this
space.
This
is
where
my
kids
took
their
first
steps.
B
That,
I
believe,
was
the
spirit
behind
the
original
orders
to
say
that
when
people
come
to
work,
you
can't
just
leave
your
heart
behind,
as
you
do,
your
work
and
your
family
and
all
the
many
parts
of
your
lives,
and
so
every
worker
in
boston
should
have
access
to
the
types
of
supports
that
this
program
and
this
place
represents
to
be
able
to
live.
Your
life
support
your
family
and
support
your
the
the
growth
and
well-being
of
your
little
ones
as
they
come
into
the
world
as
well.
J
So
if
I
were
to
open
regal
communications
400
square
feet
somewhere
in
east
e,
I
would
I
would
contribute
in-house
or
out-of-house
correct.
So.
H
Nothing
yeah.
It's
like
I
mean
exactly
what
the
mayor
said
right
the
what
what
existed
before
was
a
on-site
obligation
or
an
off-site
cash
out
opportunity,
but
that
was
poorly
defined.
What
the
off-site
cash
flow
opportunity
was.
So
what
we've
done
as
a
team?
Did
financial
research
determine
what
the
right
payout
should
be
established?
Consistency
in
the
process,
so,
if
you're
in
one
of
the
the
we're
not
changing
the
zones
that
are
required,
that's
the
downtown
zones
that
are
required
to
contribute
to
daycare.
H
We
get
you
a
list
of
those,
but
not
what
we
are
codifying
with
this
executive
order
is
exactly
how
much
that
payment
should
be
for
an
off-site
contribution
and
also
importantly,
how
that
those
funds
will
be
managed
through
christian
and
our
team.
B
The
mbta
like
child
care,
is
basic
infrastructure
for
our
city
residents.
It
entirely
defines
whether
you
can
get
to
work
on
time,
whether
you
can
pick
up
your
kids
or
whether,
as
a
young
person
you
can
get
to
school
or
to
an
internship
or
a
job.
It's
fundamental
for
boston
and
as
of
right
now
we
don't
have
a
direct
voice
in
shaping
the
decisions
that
are
happening.
B
There
are
many
logistics
that
would
need
to
go
into
any
part
of
this
and
we
are
standing
by
ready
and
eager
as
a
city
to
do
more
to
support
the
mbt's
work,
to
make
the
repairs
that
they
need
make.
The
upgrades
bring
our
infrastructure
up
to
date
and
modernize
that
we
know
that
city.
The
city
has
a
big
role
in
that
we
have
jurisdiction
over
the
streets
and
how
fast
buses
can
move,
whether
they're
designated
lanes
or
whether
how
we
use
that
space.
B
We
have
jurisdiction
over
the
signaling
of
our
street
lights
and
whether
we
can
give
priority
to
transit
vehicles,
and
so
whatever
we
can
do
to
help
support
the
mbta
in
no
longer
tinkering
around
the
edges,
but
taking
the
actions
to
get
this
done
right.
That
is
what
we
will
support,
but
for
now
it
is
more
of
a
suggestion,
but
hopefully,
by
the
end
of
the
week,
we'll
have
more
of
an
impact
as
well.
B
Disheartening
and
demoralizing,
to
see,
day
after
day
new
headlines
coming
out
about
safety,
challenges,
organizational
challenges,
and
I
know
the
staff
at
the
mbta
are
working
as
hard
as
they
possibly
could.
They
are
understaffed
in
many
places
they
are
pulled
in
many
directions,
and
so
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
things
that,
from
an
organizational
perspective,
the
city
would
love
to
support.
B
The
communication
that
needs
to
happen
between
different
signal
operators,
so
that
trains
can
go
around
that
or
or
know
to
stop
at
a
certain
time
or
go
the
other
direction,
and
that
requires
staff
power,
and
so
the
staffing
shortages
that
we
see
across
every
industry
are
affecting
the
mbta
and
the
city
and
and
private.
The
private
sector
as
well,
so
I
think
we
need
strong
leadership
to
get
to
the
root
of
these
challenges.
We
need
to
see
the
fta's
oversight
implemented
very
quickly
and
we
need
to
aim
for
above
what
the
fta
would
require.
B
J
People
coming
back
to
work,
have
you
ever
given
any
thoughts
about
that.
H
B
I'm
very
thankful
that
there
were
no
major
injuries
sustained
in
this
case.
We
have
had
far
too
many
close
calls,
or
disasters
or
or
even
fatalities
at
work
sites
in
boston
as
we
are
building
our
city,
as
you
heard
much
more
goes
into
that
than
just
the
building.
That
will
ultimately
remain
from
those
construction
efforts.
The
process
of
how
we
support
workers
through
that
from
the
child
care
side,
but
from
the
basic
life
safety
side,
is
absolutely
critical
as
well,
and
so
recently
we
had
a
a
breakfast
with
the
greater
boston,
labor
council.
