NYC 3-K Will Go Free Citywide In September, De Blasio Says

A cavalcade of City Council members who've long pushed for universal 3-K joined de Blasio and Porter. Council Member Ben Kallos noted he has a 3-year-old daughter himself and said his family will be applying for the program.

De Blasio said the ultimate goal for the program is about 60,000 slots for children.
