A large gathering of parents and caregivers in Williamsburg protested against the planned closure of five childcare centers in Brooklyn and Queens, arguing that these centers have been vital to their communities for generations. The Department of Education's sudden action to block enrollment just before the application deadline left parents scrambling. Local leaders, including Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, emphasized the need for Mayor Adams to visit these centers to understand their significance, countering claims of low enrollment as inaccurate, citing a much higher number of active students.
Hundreds of caregivers and parents on Friday demanded New York City Mayor Eric Adams to reverse the city's decision to shutter five childcare centers that have served their communities for generations.
We have 96 students here. You know who would know that there are not four students here? A mayor that would take time to come to this center instead of going to D.C. for an inauguration.
