Mamdani opens long-vacant Brooklyn 3-K site as city says applications are flat so far

Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced on Tuesday that his administration will open seven formerly vacant early childhood education centers this fall, adding about 240 new 3-K seats citywide, including at a long-delayed Downtown Brooklyn site that he said had sat empty for years despite local demand. 

The administration also announced plans to add about 450 more 3-K seats at community-based organizations this fall, the first phase of a broader expansion that officials said would create nearly 700 seats overall
