Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced $15 million in funding is available to establish pre-kindergarten programs for three or four-year-old students across New York. A preference in funding will be provided to high-need school districts that do not currently have a State funded pre-kindergarten program.
"Every child deserves a quality education beginning at the earliest stages, and this critical funding will help ensure students in the most vulnerable communities have access to the programs they need to succeed," Governor Cuomo said. "By making these smart investments in our students, we are investing in our state's future and helping to build a stronger New York for all."
