Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced on Tuesday that his administration will open seven formerly vacant early childhood education centers this fall, adding about 240 new 3-K seats citywide, including at a long-delayed Downtown Brooklyn site that he said had sat empty for years despite local demand.
The administration also announced plans to add about 450 more 3-K seats at community-based organizations this fall, the first phase of a broader expansion that officials said would create nearly 700 seats overall
