Deputy mayor visits Sunset school to discuss Pre-K for All
It’s never too early to learn.
Deputy Mayor Richard Buery visited P.S. 516, Sunset Park Avenues Elementary School, 4222 Fourth Avenue, on Wednesday, January 18 to spend time with students of the school’s pre-kindergarten program and discuss the significance of Pre-K For All.
“It’s so much fun to visit those kids,” said Buery, who interacted with the students during various activities. “I think it’s a great thing that all around the city today there 70,000 four-year-olds having that same experience in different neighborhoods. Many of them would have been home watching television and there’s [a huge] difference between that and the rich experiences they’re getting now, like the friends they’re making, the skills they’re learning, the concepts they’re exploring, and learning about the world.”
