The city will open two additional 3-K facilities, one in Downtown Brooklyn and the other in Flatlands.<\/p>\n
The city will open seven new early childhood education centers this fall, including two in Brooklyn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new centers will add\u00a0about 240 new 3-K seats across the city. The sites, previously vacant, are part of the first phase of the 3-K expansion announced last month for the 2026\u201327 school year, officials said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been deliberate about how we approach early care and education and are taking meaningful steps to put more seats closer to the families that need them most,\u201d Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels said in a statement.\u00a0\u201cThese are more than just additional seats. They are the foundation every child needs to thrive, and we are committed to making sure no family in our system has to look too far to find a high-quality program for their child.\u201d\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n
In Brooklyn, one center\u00a0will open in Downtown Brooklyn, at 274 Atlantic Ave. (District 15), and another in Flatlands, at\u00a01326 East 57th St. (District 22).<\/p>\n
