[ - ] We, on a major budget, will be visiting NYC for the weekend of the 4th with our 14/15 month old.. We plan on being in Manhattan for most of the 4th and 5th, but are staying in Jersey.. Where are the best spots in the city to attend to 14/15 month old needs, e.g. quiet places to hang for 1-2 hour naps; restaurants that won't freak with cheerio droppings and occasional screams; places with comfortable, clean changing rooms -- NY mothers, what are your secrets for long days out with baby in Manhattan (& Brooklyn too..)

i agree with pps. nyc is very child friendly. if you're concerned about restaurants, just look for one with other children in it. you will find many, many, many that are fine with kids. new yorkers traditionally eat out more with their children than in any other city i have visited. comfortable clean changing rooms are another matter. space is very tight here, so even the most well-meaning places might not have this. but you can go into buybuybaby or babiesrus or toysrus. it just depends where you will be.

4th grade test scores are a factor in public middle school admissions. 5th grade tests scores determine if a child is eligible to take the test for Hunter High School, which begins in 7th grade. a child must score in the top 90%, I believe. In my understanding, private schools do not look at the standardized test scores for middle school admission. They require tests from the ERB (either CTPs or ISEEs). [ Reply | More

there are only two places to take the ERB -- your preschool (if 15 or more kids are taking it the ERB office will send a tester to the school) or at the ERB office which is on East 42nd Street. The test is offered year round. Your child must be 4 years old to take it for kindergarten admissions and take it the same year applying. The testing year begins in April. [ Reply | More

DS admitted to our FC and 2 others, but think ERBs were seriously in DC's corner. I think the playdate and DS's personality (very curious but a bit active) more than his birthday were why some schools said yes and others Waitlisted. Saw DC shine for a few minutes of one playdate where he was admitted. I am guessing he may have been less shiny on the days he interviewed at the WL schools. But who knows - it's all speculation.

That's what our PSD mentioned too - that now schools were saying that May birthday kids were a little young. So officially, it's definitely not too young, but it's starting to get tough even for May. (Completely ridiculous IMHO) [ Reply | More

Interesting. Are there May kids being placed in younger grades or is it just getting tough to place May kids? [ Reply | More

Given that there are not enough spots to go around, they will continue to give preference to older children. The bigger the supply/demand imbalance, the more the unofficial cutoff will get pushed forward. It is very frustrating....... [ Reply | More

Intersting. I wonder what they'd do with a May 30 ds. It sounds like the line is a little blurred. [ Reply | More

When you say that your early June boy was considered a summer birthday, how was that expressed? Through PSD or did you receive actual "too young" letters? I understood no boys received "too young" letters this year. TIA [ Reply | More
