Tonight at Jalopy Theatre, 6:00- 7:00 PM, our new CSWA Family Committee is holding a listening session to discuss neighborhood childcare needs. Specifically, we’ll share more about the unopened but fully furnished Pre-K at President and Van Brunt, and how to open it. Come hear Zach Hetrick share what he saw during his tour of the center.

Here's Zach Hetrick's Instagram post about his visit on April 3 to the unopened Pre-K at President and Van Brunt. And don't miss Zach's entry into the Mayor's jingle contest for 2k!

Zach has set up a micro site with the data case. The site includes a link to the petition to open the school which fellow Family Committee member Jessica Setton set up. Please sign if you haven't already. And contact Council Member Hanif's office to express your support.

New York Post published another article about the unopened pre-K center, featuring Jessica and Zach's comments: Exclusive | Empty NYC preschools cost taxpayers nearly $100M in rent alone
