MAMDANI’S FIRST 100 DAYS: Mayor expands free 2-K program to run 10 hours a day, year-round

By Adam Daly Posted on April 9, 2026

Thursday, April 9, marks the 99th day of Zohran Mamdani’s term as mayor. amNewYork is following Mamdani around his first 100 days in office.

Parents who get one of the city’s first 2-K seats this fall will be able to use the program from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., 260 days a year, as Mayor Zohran Mamdani moves to turn the rollout into something closer to full-time child care than a traditional school schedule.
