纽约扩大了免费早期教育,到2029年,为纽约州2岁儿童提供2个托儿所,为所有4岁儿童普及学龄前教育。 New York expands free early education with 2-Care for NYC 2-year-olds and universal pre-K for all 4-year-olds by 2029.

纽约州正在扩大免费幼儿教育,采取两项新举措:逐步推出“两托”方案,从9月开始在纽约市为两岁儿童提供免费托儿服务,并计划在2028-2029学年之前向全州所有四岁儿童普遍提供免费学前教育。 New York State is expanding free early childhood education with two new initiatives: a phased rollout of 2-Care, offering free childcare for 2-year-olds in New York City starting in September, and a plan to provide universal free pre-K for all four-year-olds statewide by the 2028–2029 school year. 虽然纽约市已经为3岁和4岁的人提供通用的K前教育,但大多数其他地区没有该方案,或者面临入学限制。 While New York City already offers universal pre-K for ages 3 and 4, most other districts lack the program or face enrollment limits. 国家将支持各县的能力建设,以确保公平准入。 The state will support districts in building capacity, aiming to ensure equitable access. “2-护理”方案目前仅限于纽约市,受到该州其他地方居民的批评,他们感到被排除在福利之外。 The 2-Care program is currently limited to New York City, drawing criticism from residents elsewhere in the state who feel excluded from the benefits.
