Gentile reads aloud to pre-k children
Councilmember Vincent Gentile met some of his youngest constituents — 4-year-olds — when he visited a pre-K program in Bensonhurst on April 1.
Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) came to Site Z075 on Bay 11th Street to get a first-hand look at the city-funded universal pre-K program being operated there.
With Earth Day approaching on April 22, Gentile read “What a Wonderful World” by George David Weiss aloud to the children. The kids responded enthusiastically, according to Dianne Gounardes, the early childhood director for School District 20.
