NEW YORK (AP) — Free preschool for 4-year-olds was a signature issue that helped New York City’s mayor win office in 2013.
Now up for re-election, Bill de Blasio wants to add thousands of classroom seats for 3-year-olds, too.
His initiative, which could eventually enroll up to 62,000 kids, would be among the largest public investments in preschool in the United States for children that young.
A few states, including Florida and Oklahoma, have universal, publicly funded pre-K for 4-year-olds, but such programs for 3-year-olds are much more rare.
Education advocates said the plan announced last week by de Blasio, a Democrat, could be a national model if it succeeds.

Most of them work full time. Most of them are single parents.
This isn’t about preschool, it is about daycare. Which is already highly subsidized.
Most of the FFs went to "DAME SCHOOLS", which were groups of kids, taught by women ( higher grades were taught by only men ) for what we would call "grammar school" and then went on to being taught by men and then off to college. That's a whole LOT more schooling than your cockeyed claim of " 4 to 5 years"!
And there are many people, out there, who are far more "literate" and knowledgeable than you are. *snicker*
The Marxist IDIOT, de B., keeps proposing all kinds of stuff, which NEVER comes to pass/only a teensy bit comes to be and then fails. There's NO money for this program, the state won't give him more money and the Feds surely shan't!
This is just propaganda...he imagines that if he says something, it just comes to be, because he said the words. LOL
We have to consider the kinds of “homes” these little ones come from. Are their mamas hookers and their daddies pushers, pimps and gang members? One would hope the kids will not be abandoned to their “fate.”
What are NYC churches doing to help?
As all Freepers know, nothing is free. It means that someone else is forced to pay. Leftists want all kids in government daycare and all parents working and paying taxes to support the “free” stuff. Those who have a parent at home and live on one income will pay higher taxes to provide daycare for two income families.
DeBlackio can start them as newborns and it won’t change their outcomes one little bit. They’ll still be savages and losers. But, at least they’ll be tranny and homosexual savages and losers, I guess. So, there’s that.
Maybe it is just me, but I don’t understand how any man could have such self-hatred, as deBlackio has for himself. It wasn’t enough for him to abandon his birth name, William Wilhelm, Jr. I guess he was ashamed of his Aryan roots. He was also apparently so self-loathing that he chose to “mate” with not only a lesbian, but an UGLY black lesbian, to prove his SJW bonafides. Now look what he wakes up to every morning. In his bed. UGH. Not only that, he has to come down to breakfast to two raging ugly AFRO heads sitting at the kitchen table. His parents must have been so proud.
Same here. The difference is that I've had too many beers today and I realize that.
This is just funneling taxpayer dollars through union members to the Democratic Party; this dynamic has killed NJ for homeowners and taxpayers.
Since our children learn nothing in school anyway, the indoctrination aspect is a far second in what this achieves.
