The New York City Department of Education will close several early child care centers in Brooklyn, including Nuestros Ninos and Grand Street Settlement, citing low enrollment rates and budget constraints. Affected parents and staff express deep concern and sadness, particularly highlighting the cultural importance and community role of these centers. Despite the city’s commitment to reallocating resources to neighborhoods in need, parents worry about the transition process and the impact on their children, as these centers have longstanding histories in their communities.
"This administration has demonstrated its commitment to creating a system that is sustainable, financially sound, and is also nimble to families' needs."
