Description:
The Mayor's latest financial plan for the city speeds up the expansion of the new 3-K for All program while continuing to consolidate all of the city's early education programs -- universal Pre-K, early childhood programs formerly known as EarlyLearn and run by the Administration for Children's Services (ACS), and 3-K - in the Department of Education (DOE). The Mayor touts this reorganization as an effort to create a continuum of early care and education of children from ages 6 weeks to 5 years. With funding provided in the Mayor's plan to accelerate the expansion of the 3-K for All program, the DOE is slated to spend $1.5 billion on early education by 2021, roughly 5 percent of the education department's total budget.
