Parents upset over Queens daycare closing after serving community for decades

Parents are now seeking alternatives, but some fear other childcare providers may not have enough space to accommodate affected families.

Keeping CTK Daycare Preschool open is essential for working class families and this community as a whole to keep thriving. If we lose CTK Daycare Preschool, there will be negative rippling effects felt throughout the community.

We need CKK to remain open. It’s one of the best programs in our area. The before-care and aftercare is the biggest blessing for working parents like myself. Please help us to keep them open.

This will be a very big burden to all those parents who need that in order for them to continue working.

Wonder how many parents met with our Councilman to discuss this issue? 💪🇺🇸🙏💪

That’s the old star corrugated business ??

I am a bit unclear where/how this is being billed as a "homeless" anything? A quick check indicates it is being sold as a modern warehouse in "industrial" Maspeth. Am I missing something? 🤔🇺🇸💪

Status: Announced/proposed (facing local political and community review concerns)

They are warehousing humans lol

As long as it’s not happening in MV..

That’s only a few blocks from a special ed school.

Get out and VOTE RED. Now is the time.

At some point they're gonna put the people from rikers somewhere As they're gonna close it. Get out and vote

Have shelter near atlas mall. Freaks wander area looking at little kids and women

FLUSHING AVE IN Maspeth????

The adress is a bit off. When in GPS its right by atlas on the other side of the underpath ,71st ave 74th street is the 55-05 adress. This is supposedly going to be next to the already exisiting shelter in glendale/middlevillage? They must've gotten the wrong photo or adress.

Corruption

Get out and vote against changing our way of life and country.

go vote Hochul !!! more shit like that will come your way

THEY Want 2 Mess Up ALL Decent neighborhoods

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
