"The Feb. 19 announcement marked the official opening of the District 2 Pre-K and 3-K Center at 403 East 65th St., a former parking garage completed in July 2025 that had sat unused for months under the prior administration. The center will open this fall, according to the mayor, adding more than 130 seats and becoming the first standalone, city-run early childhood education facility in the 10065 ZIP code."
"Officials said the center will quadruple 3-K capacity and double Pre-K capacity in the neighborhood, addressing a longstanding shortage that had forced families either to travel outside the area or pay for private child care. Families have until Feb. 27 to apply for seats. While New York City families waited anxiously for child care options near their homes, the last administration refused to move with the urgency this crisis demands, Mamdani said."
