New York City Mayor Eric Adams and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams have successfully secured $514 million in funding to continue supporting early childhood education programs, including 3-K and pre-K. This funding restoration, included in the executive budget, comes in response to potential cuts due to expiring pandemic aid and the ongoing migrant crisis. The announcement was part of a broader discussion on the city's fiscal management and its commitment to high-quality education as a fundamental right. Additionally, the budget includes $5 million for outreach efforts and $8 million to facilitate applications for subsidized child care through the MyCity portal. Budget hearings are scheduled for next month to further negotiate and finalize these allocations.
