Q&A

Santosuosso asks about provider size and existing vs new contracts

New York City Council · Oct 7, 2026 · starts 0:47:49 · 1 min 19 sec

Santosuosso asks about the mix of single-location vs multi-location providers and how many were existing vs new. Liss says they have a diverse mix, with majority previously contracting for 3K and pre-K.

Kayla Santosuosso

I'm curious about the size of the providers that were contracted this year.

Kayla Santosuosso

So do you have data around how many are single location providers versus a larger provider that might have multiple locations?

Emmy Liss

I don't know that we have that data yet available, but we do have a really diverse mix of providers.

Emmy Liss

We have, as you heard, many, many home-based providers who may be serving just a couple of 2K children alongside their other mixed-age enrollments.

Emmy Liss

And then we have single-site providers, independent organizations who are serving a classroom or two of 2K.

Emmy Liss

And then we do have larger providers who have multiple locations across the city who are serving 2K children in the locations inside the districts.

Kayla Santosuosso

Okay.

Kayla Santosuosso

And so do you have the data around how many were existing, sorry, had existing contracts with the city versus brand new providers via the 2K program?

Emmy Liss

The majority of providers were previously working with the city to offer 3K and pre-K.

Emmy Liss

We did see a smaller number of providers who opted through the RFI to newly contract with the city.

Kayla Santosuosso

Okay.

Kayla Santosuosso

I would love to see data as far as how many seats were in multiple network, multiple providers, home-based.

Kayla Santosuosso

center-based, et cetera, as a breakdown when possible.

Kayla Santosuosso

But I know you said November for that, right?

Emmy Liss

Yes, that's when we'll have preliminary enrollment data to share.

Kayla Santosuosso

Okay.
