"No family should have to 'cross borough lines for child care when the space exists right on their block.' Mayor Mamdani emphasized the need for local access to early childhood education."
"'For years, these classrooms sat empty while parents were told to wait. Today we're opening doors - and we're proving that this city can meet the urgency of working families with action, not excuses,' said Mamdani."
"'I am proud to expand access to these critically-needed programs for nearly 700 kids across the City, ensuring New York's Cutest have the strong start they deserve,' stated Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels."
Seven formerly vacant early childhood education centers will open this fall, adding approximately 240 new 3-K seats citywide. Mayor Zohran Mamdani emphasized the importance of local access to childcare, stating that families should not have to travel far for services. The Atlantic Ave. center will offer 63 seats, while an additional 450 seats will be added at community organizations. This initiative is part of a broader plan to make 3-K universal, benefiting nearly 700 children across the city.
