New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani visited BCC’s Early Childhood Center, using the campus as the backdrop for a childcare announcement highlighting the City’s commitment to expanding access for families. Our Rising Stars shared their handmade artwork – a tree filled with heart-shaped leaves – along with a heartfelt message: “From little seeds grow mighty trees. Thank you for helping us grow.” Mayor Mamdani joined our children in hands-on creative play and learning, underscoring the essential role early childhood education plays in building strong communities.
