Nuestros Ninos in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, will remain open, at least for another year, after the city agreed to extend its lease.

This follows an error made by the city showing there were only four students enrolled at the school when there were more than 90 students, which prompted officials to move to close the school.

“This daycare has always wanted to be more of a community,” parent Flor Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez says she found a community at Nuestros Ninos as a child, and now her son is doing the same.

“Just having a space where they speak your language, they are of your culture,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez and her parents are immigrants from the Dominican Republic. While diverse, the school has been a haven for Latino families for more than 50 years.

“We have two, three generations here who are doubling up in apartments, who still want to stay in this community. This is where they call home,” Executive Director Ingrid Matias Chungata said.

Chungata says the battle for the school is not simply a cultural one, which is in an area quickly gentrifying, but a financial one with the city now reversing course on the closure of the school.

“They said they’re going to give us an extension for one year, but that doesn’t mean we’re renewing the lease,” Chungata said.

An extension to the lease is step one, but the city has yet to approve the school’s budget.

The school’s operated without a budget since last July, and Chungata says the city still owes them more than a million dollars in reimbursements.

“I just submitted to the city a loan so that we could meet the next payroll,” Chungata said.

With an uncertain future, parents like Rodriguez hope the school will be around for more than just a year, but another 50 years for future generations.

“It’s a safe space for us in the community and also for the children,” Rodriguez said.

The school says the city’s schools chancellor will be visiting next month.
