De Blasio said Monday that the city hopes to launch a pilot of the “3-K” program next fall year at a cost of $36 million. But the state and federal governments would have to pitch in.
The cost would rise to $177 million when the program is fully in place.
The pilot program would focus on low-income districts in the South Bronx and Brownville, Brooklyn.
De Blasio has promoted universal pre-K as his administration’s signature achievement.
The administration says the city has more than tripled the number of 4-year-olds enrolled in free, full-day pre-K.

Putting a 3 year old in school for a full day is a long time. A 4 year old I can understand, but a 3 yr. old I think it is too much!
