   One of America’s most ambitious child-care experiments is playing out,
   in part, at a public-housing complex at the far end of Manhattan’s East
   Village. Tucked behind one of the 13 brick towers that make up the
   Jacob Riis Houses, a few bright classrooms sit filled with tiny
   furniture and, one morning in March, dozens of toddlers. This is the
   Jacob Riis Early Childhood Center, one of roughly 1,200 sites that make
   up New York City’s free, public pre-kindergarten program, which
   operates mostly via contracts with mom and pop providers and local
   nonprofits.
