Is those providers listed somewhere that families know where to go to?

3:45:06

Are they also provided to New York City Public School Students or families, immigrant centers?

Yes.

We have a list of our existing providers which again, you know, that will grow and we're working to roll out a new version of that list as more Moya centers are added, But yes, all of our agencies have this list available to them.
