City-funded organization

Canarsie Children First Academy is an NYC Early Education Center (NYCEEC) at 2188 Pitkin Avenue in Canarsie, Brooklyn, serving 3-K and Pre-K age children. All five of its city contracts are with the Department of Education, either titled "UPK-BTF" (two active, two expired) or "UPK-CIN" (one expired). Its two active contracts, worth $5.6 million combined as of August 2026, are tagged "Renewal (not re-bid)," and the three expired contracts were tagged "RFP." Across all five contracts since 2021 the academy has been awarded $21.5 million from the city, of which 26% of contract value, all of it in those two renewed contracts, was awarded without a fresh competitive bid.
