Mayor Zohran Mamdani visited a South Richmond Hill child care center Wednesday afternoon to mark the Hindu festival of Holi and celebrate the rollout of the first phase of an initiative that will deliver free childcare to two-year-olds.
The mayor on March 4 celebrated Holi with children at Lucy’s Rainbow Daycare in South Richmond Hill, a neighborhood that has been included in the first phase of the rollout, which will provide 2,000 toddlers with free full-day child care this fall. The home-based child care provider is one of almost 6,000 home-based child care centers in the city, which will form a key part of Mamdani’s 2K initiative.
