Tentative agreement reach to extend leases of early education centers
The announcement comes after the centers protested outside City Hall last week, which opened discussions with the city and DOE.
Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Public Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos announced that a tentative agreement was reached Friday to extend leases of four Brooklyn early childhood education centers, and one in Queens, that were set to close at the end of the school year.
The announcement comes after the centers protested outside City Hall last week, which opened discussions with the city and DOE.
The centers include:
Fort Greene Council Young Minds Day Care, Brooklyn
Friends of Crown Heights Educational Center, Inc., Brooklyn
Grand Street Settlement, Brooklyn
Nuestros Ninos Day Care Center in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
All My Children Day Care and Nursery School, Queens
Leaders of the centers said they were blindsided by the news of the closure which came a week before the Myschools portal to register children for 3K and pre-K opened.
