"The seven reactivations are part of a broader rollout Mayor Mamdani laid out in March to add more than 1,000 free 3-K seats across 56 ZIP codes this fall, as reported by the AP."
"City officials say roughly 1,000 additional pre-K and 3-K seats are expected to come online, and the first wave focuses on turning the lights back on in buildings that have sat unused for years."
"The building, prepared in 2023 but left vacant, will be repurposed as a center with capacity for about 63 children, as reported by News 12 The Bronx."
Mayor Mamdani's initiative aims to enhance child care accessibility by reopening seven previously vacant early childhood sites, adding around 1,000 new pre-K and 3-K seats. The first phase focuses on utilizing buildings that have been unused for years, including a Brooklyn site prepared in 2023. The mayor's office announced that families can apply for these new seats, supported by a $1.2 billion state investment to expand universal child care for children under five across 56 ZIP codes this fall.
