So DS is 1.5, and i never expected to be in the City when he was ready for preschool so I never paid any attention to all the various options (the different privates, the G&T, the various zoned publics). But it looks like we will be living here for at least another 5-7 years so I should probably start paying attention. However when all of you talk I have no idea what the hell you are saying. I don't know what any of the abbreviations are, I don't know the buzz words (progressive, child-centered vs. traditional) or where any of these schools even are. I am a former Long Island girl, who went to my local elementary and hten to my local high school and then a respoectable Univerity of ____. I know nothing about this elite education system. WHere can I go to educate myself before I begin this process? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Don't worry about G&T etc. at this point. What you should do is look into the preschool options in your neighborhood (doesn't make sense to travel to far). There's a book that every Barnes & Nobles carries that lists them all (some websites do as well). You're not too late yet. You need to educate yourself now about what schools are out there and apply and tour in the fall for preschool admission in the fall of 2009. (Your ds will still be on the young side then for preschool, but it won't hurt to explore your options now). Where do you live? [ Reply | More
