Daily News | On Thursday, Adams announced his plans for the next city budget, including $100 million to keep the summer program going for at least another year. But $112 million allocated for 3-K was left out of his accounting, putting thousands of slots at risk of being rolled back or eliminated by July.

There are nearly 48,000 children in 3-K, budget officials said — plus their parents who rely on the program to stay in the workforce.

On top of that potential cut, the preliminary budget omitted tens of millions of dollars for preschool students with disabilities and to extend the hours of select early childhood education sites. Both efforts could be scaled back if the city does not allocate the resources.

“Families need to know if they can count on their child having a 3-K seat in the fall or a preschool special education class,” said Kim Sweet, executive director of Advocates for Children.

In a briefing with reporters, budget officials advised the plan was not final and the administration would continue to work with the City Council to find more resources.
