Most 2-K seats starting this fall will be full-day and on a full-year schedule, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Thursday.

The mayor said it is a step toward his goal of universal childcare and taking into consideration the reality that working families face.

According to Mamdani’s office, the majority of the first 2,000 2-K seats available this fall will run from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 260 days a year. This schedule will replace the traditional 180-day school calendar. However, the City notes that early childcare providers may still offer a 2-K program that is aligned to the school calendar, and full-day and full-year care is not a requirement for a family to accept a seat.
