NYC childcare providers still waiting on six-figure payments as Mamdani's free pre-K expansion stumbles before day one
Mayor Zohran Mamdani's flagship universal childcare program faces an embarrassing debut, providers contracted to open classrooms on September 10 say the city has not sent the advance payments they need to hire staff, buy supplies, or even fix the plumbing.Across Queens, Staten Island, and Brooklyn, directors of small daycare centers told the New York Post they are draining personal savings, maxing out credit lines, delaying staff paychecks, and skipping their own salaries to keep doors open, all while City Hall and the Comptroller's office trade blame over unregistered contracts.
The result: the city's 2-K, 3-K, and pre-K programs, the centerpiece of Mamdani's 2025 campaign, risk opening without teachers, without supplies, and without the trust of the very operators the system depends on.
The payment delays land at a moment when the financial credibility of Mamdani's entire childcare agenda is already under scrutiny. A nonpartisan study by the Center for New York City Affairs found that the program will cost roughly $9 billion annually, about 50 percent more than the $6 billion Mamdani promised on the campaign trail.

All these elected idiots in office today, all just slaves for Satan!
I understand that you don't feel that a blog based in Lake Worth is probably not the place to ask this but, "What is going on in Florida?" California and New York, this Lake Worth blogger has covered.
Tallahassee, Orlando, Tampa, Miami and Naples...don't come to this place to find out.
Read what you want to read about somewhere else. It doesn't matter that I live in LWB...I write about what interests me. Go somewhere else. Democrats do nothing but complain. Losers.
This blog supports Mcvoy and the Marxists of LWB so you understand why this place is so enamored with NYC’s socialist party, blogger can't change its stripes.
That has to be the most outrageous comment recently on this blog @10:19. McVoy and I differ totally in national politics and I can't stand socialists, communists and most Democrats. I must be getting to you with the truth for you to resort so low.
Lynn, you can't reason with these people. Their hate has blinded them. Completely illogical without reason and completely flawed in their thinking. Don't even try just pray for them! As you can see they have become just complete slaves for Satan for them it's okay to kill little babies but save the rescue dogs! There's just no reasoning with people like this! They are blinded by their hate completely illogical!
