As of Wednesday afternoon, 125 pre-kindergarten children have been placed in alternative sites following news the city has revoked permits for nine sites in community-based organizations that had a variety of problems, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.

The nine sites would have housed 265 children and the mayor has vowed to relocate all of them to other sites. Pre-kindergarten starts citywide on Thursday.

'The 45 sites have had a variety of problems, including building and health-code violations, as well as financial and legal issues.'
