Bay Ridge mom starts petition for half-day pre-k classes
The city’s universal pre-kindergarten program isn’t universally loved.
Andrea Stockton, a stay-at-home mom from Bay Ridge, said that while she loves the idea of giving children a head start in their education by having them attend pre-k classes, she’s not crazy about making the kids sit in a classroom all day.
The vast majority of the city’s pre-k classes are full day classes, according to Stockton, who said that half-day sessions would be better for some families.
