The one in Hoboken is full day, 5 days a week, for 3's and 4's. I don't think NYC has anything even remotely comparable. [ Reply | More ]

public preK is for 4yos. Not all schools offer a preK program but many do (in NYC) [ Reply | More ]

The one in Hoboken is also amazing because the class size limit is (I think) 15 and in my dc class there 3 teachers. I think this is the norm, if not the rule. I really don't think there is anything like this in NYC. Otherwise, no one would pay for all the pricey preschools. [ Reply | More ]

yes. Public elementary schools offer pre-K. Nothing new. The only thing that differentiates those schools in Hoboken from the ones in NYC is that they start at 3 years. You won't find that in NYC. [ Reply | More ]
