New York City is launching a new child care pilot program for city workers.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani and city officials say applications are now open for The Little Apple, a free full-day care program for eligible employees.

The pilot program is said to serve about 40 children inside the David N. Dinkings municipal building ages 6 weeks to 3 years old.

The program will provide year-round care Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. A $10 million renovation is underway to construct the child care facility, and is expected to be completed in fall 2026.

Applications for eligible families are open online now through May 15.
