State Sen. Zellnor Myrie held a press conference outside an Astoria daycare center Wednesday morning to advocate for extending the pilot program offering free extended hours for New York City preschoolers.
Diki Daycare Center, located at 30-81 Steinway St., is one of the 64 pre-K and 3-K programs currently enrolled in the city’s pilot program, which allows parents to drop children off at daycare centers at 7 a.m. and pick them up at 5 p.m.
