Help II

285 East 171st St, Bronx, 10457

Help II offers free 3-K/Pre-K seats β€” New York City's free public preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds, run through the Education Department (DOE). The DOE oversees these programs itself, so there is no daycare-style inspection report here. A Pre-K/3-K program operates at this address in the DOE's current directory (checked Sep 12, 2026) (listed as β€œHELP MORRIS EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM”). In the most recent DOE admissions cycle, MySchools lists 15 3-K seats with 11 applicants β€” 0.73 per seat, more applications per seat than 30% of 3-K sites in the Bronx and 20 Pre-K seats with 18 applicants β€” 0.9 per seat, more applications per seat than 55% of Pre-K sites in the Bronx β€” all seats were filled. Everything we publish for this record is free.

Inspections & oversight

Free 3-K and Pre-K programs answer to the city's Education Department, not the Health Department, so there is no daycare-style inspection report here. Here's what we can check instead.

How this program is overseen
  • 3-K and Pre-K are New York City's free public preschool programs: 3-K for 3-year-olds, Pre-K for 4-year-olds. Seats are free whether the program runs in a public school or a community organization.
  • The Education Department (DOE) oversees these programs itself and does not publish site-by-site inspection reports.
  • Many community-run sites operate inside a licensed daycare center. When that's the case, the center keeps its own full inspection record, linked on this page if one exists at this address.
  • We check the DOE's MySchools directory for this program's current listing, seats, and application status. Enrolling always goes through MySchools. More in our methodology.
