NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — It’s not just 2-K that’s coming to New York City this fall; there’s also going to be an expansion of 3-K.<\/p>\n

Mayor Zohran Mamdani, on Tuesday, will announce the addition of 1,000 more 3-K seats for the coming school year.<\/p>\n

That will push the total number of slots above 40,000.<\/p>\n

The spaces are being added in 56 zip codes including Port Richmond and Tottenville on Staten Island, the only borough which is not part of the initial 2-Care program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some on the borough objected on being excluded for the first 2-K round, although the Mamdani administration said they were always part of the 2027 rollout.<\/p>\n

Some families have had trouble getting a 3-K seat near their homes during Mayor Eric Adams’ administration.<\/p>\n
