Media Advisory: City Councilwoman Natalia Rukiak Reads Holiday Stories to Pre-K Kids
WHAT: Holiday stories with Councilwoman Natalia Rudiak
WHO: Councilwoman Natalia Rudiak will read holiday stories to 3 & 4 year olds at the Small World Early Learning Center in downtown Pittsburgh. Earlier this month, Rudiak, along with other members of City Council’s Woman’s Caucus, introduced and preliminarily passed an amendment to the 2015 Capital Budget to create a fund for improving child care facilities in Pittsburgh. The bill reappropriates $250,000 to a new “Council Facilities Fund” under the Mayor’s Bureau of Neighborhood Empowerment. The funds will be used to seed a low-interest loan and/or grant program to help child care providers install certain safety features and amenities required for facilities to be considered high quality by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
