Town To Issue RFPs For Childcare At Montauk Playhouse

EAST HAMPTON, NY — East Hampton Town will soon begin the process of seeking new childcare providers for the Montauk Playhouse, officials said Friday.

After over a decade of serving the Montauk community, the Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk, Inc. informed the town of its decision to discontinue childcare services at the Montauk Playhouse, effective May 3, 2024, the town said.

In response, the town will initiate a request for proposal process starting February 1, to identify new operators who can "seamlessly" take over childcare services at Montauk Playhouse, the town said.

The EOC has expressed its commitment to supporting a smooth transition for the selected operator.

"The Town of East Hampton is grateful for the EOC’s longstanding service to the community and is committed to ensuring that hard working families will continue to have access to quality

childcare options in Montauk,' said East Hampton Town Supervisor Kathee Burke-Gonzalez.
