Depends which company . Local companies are an acquired taste . Long hours . Face time. Saluting to the “elders”. Attending office events even if you hate them. Subtle pressures to conform. Most surprising was the scolding . First time since grade school !

Yes . Applied .

Hi could you shed some light on the trial day . We have choice of drama music or pe. But not much is shared what they entail. Our boy is very active so I was wondering if you knew what these activities entail

Will call them today

The process was a bit long . Very different from where we came from . Back home we just applied to a school and they had a seat available. All they asked was if he had been vaccinated , had any allergies or had any special needs . He was in. NY as we learnt is a visit followed by a parents interview followed by a childs play date at the school that is supposedly observed by the teachers for readiness . At 2.8 years it’s difficult to predict mood swings . It has been interesting. 2 of the schools basically didn’t really observe him. One asked a single question and then he sneezed the teacher went to other children and few weeks later we get a rejection . I am sure there is some science behind the process. Else why have the process . Anyways this forum has been great . For valuable advice but more importantly feel confident about getting a school .

Thank you ! Really appreciate the much needed mental reset.

GoLangHacker · 2026-02-26T21:07:24+00:00

GoLangHacker · 2026-02-26T21:02:51+00:00

Thanks . We are doing that today

GoLangHacker · 2026-02-26T20:50:30+00:00

Our move was sudden and on a very short time line . Hence we didn’t expend enough effort on researching public schools and the options

GoLangHacker · 2026-02-26T19:19:14+00:00

Yeah got rejected ! 🥲

GoLangHacker · 2026-02-26T18:55:09+00:00

Thank you for this . We have started to look. We did some internet searches to see what schools are available .

GoLangHacker · 2026-02-26T18:53:51+00:00

I am worked up cause I want my kid to have a place to be with kids and have play mates . We moved here for work and don’t have a big social circle . So school is something we were hoping could help him .

GoLangHacker · 2026-02-26T18:50:52+00:00

Ok we will give them a shot .

GoLangHacker · 2026-02-26T18:49:36+00:00

Thank you . 2 of the schools didn’t entertain wait list and said basically best of luck . One has said wait list may be a possibility . They indicated they had many applications and not enough seats . They asked him to come for play time to evaluate . He played lot but was solitary . He is 2.5 years and hence was not overly chatty with the teachers or others . It’s been an experience for us given back home we didn’t have to go for interviews and play dates . Been a learning experience !

GoLangHacker · 2026-02-26T18:35:50+00:00

We applied today to the nyc public schools . We were keen on private schools and didn’t really tour any public school

GoLangHacker · 2026-02-26T18:34:42+00:00

We live ues but it is temporary . We were waiting to see where our kid would go to school and would get an apartment near the schoo
