Preschool question. Are there any safety schools on the UES? We are going public so don't care about exmissions, just want the socialization and separation aspects of preschool. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

It is on 80th and York. The class is the same kids for the entire year and I think it's two or 3 times per week. We didn't do it, but I had a friend whose dc went there. THey were happy with the program. [ Reply | More

I posted below -- I don't know, but I think they are often Tuesday/Thursday or Monday/Friday so they could be. In September you can look into them and talk to the moms (or nannies :)) [ Reply | More

I am not sure about what they are all about, but there are many pre-school alternative programs on the UES and while popular I think they are relatively safe. Rhinelander, The Art Farm, New York Kids Club, Gymtime Rhythm and Glues have these. Otherwise I dont' know of first come first serve ones, but feel like if you apply broadly something will work out.

There's a Preschool of America on Park between 93rd and 94th. Lovely old building, but don't know anything about it. Might be worth looking into. [ Reply | More

That's a daycare that might have a preschool curriculum but it's all day and $2K per month. OP might just need your basic nursery school situation. But my friend sends her dd there and likes it. [ Reply | More
