hello moms. I'm going to be upfront and let you all know I'm a reporter for New York Resident magazine.I'm doing an article on the whole crazy pre-k process in nyc. But, I'm clueless as to what parents go through and how they feel. Here's what I want to know: have any of you EVER applied your child for pre-k before they were even born? Why did you do it? is pre-k that important to your child's future education. Of, course I'll quote you. But, of course, you'll be anonymous, too. My name, by the way, is A. Yamina Collins. Would love to hear from you. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

^^^if you do some research and pick up a phone and call preschools you will probably find that most, if not all, will not accept an application for a child who does not exist. Now, on the other hand, I have heard of daycare centers which accept infants, that will allow expectant parents to get on a waitlist prior to the birth of their baby. [ Reply | More

the preschool application process generally starts in September, one year prior to entrance (apply in 08 so kid can attend in 09); only daycares allow you to get on a waiting list before birth. [ Reply | More
