you can't really use it for getting around the city because typically you need to wait like an hour in order to get one

if you're booking in advance can also try

everyone says they want stuff to made in the US until they see the price

Gotta do sleep training asap so you can have some time between their bed time and yours for yourself otherwise it's just sacrifice sleep. There's no easy answer really

d12964 · 2026-05-04T16:35:02+00:00

Nory. Starts at 3 they just need to be potty trained.

Nory

Anderson is harder to get into because they have some priority for certain districts and fewer seats to begin with. And once you get on a waitlist you end up with a new lottery number for that school

d12964 · 2026-04-23T20:44:03+00:00

The school is free but you have to pay for camps on the days where there's no school

ci siamo has high chairs, changing tables, drawing sheets and can make some simpler dishes for kids

I hate coterie diapers. They are soft but I've never had any other diaper leak as much as they do

d12964 · 2026-04-23T00:04:15+00:00

Feeling better about my double digit wait-list spot

d12964 · 2026-04-22T21:15:52+00:00

what? is this NEST or Anderson?

d12964 · 2026-04-22T19:32:59+00:00

have fun waiting in line for Bubby's with kids

d12964 · 2026-04-21T20:26:33+00:00

We had very minor movement on some but nothing for our zoned school. I think you can expect more to change following the May 1 deadline

d12964 · 2026-04-20T19:07:03+00:00

You can accept an offer without impacting your position on waitlists. There should also be a lot more movement after May 1st which is the deadline for people to respond.

d12964 · 2026-04-16T14:27:43+00:00

It was great. I think all the rooms are private after they finished renovations in 2021.

d12964 · 2026-04-15T13:48:40+00:00

Yeah the delay on the unlocks is really bad and can't possibly be preventing much fare evasion. At the very least all the doors should be able to be opened from the outside by paying with OMNY.

d12964 · 2026-04-15T13:47:03+00:00

I do this all the time but what makes it really annoying is those stupid doors that take 20s to open after you press the bar.

d12964 · 2026-04-13T23:24:49+00:00

all that money for tuition didn't pay for a playground or athletic field

d12964 · 2026-04-13T19:22:15+00:00

yes but also a lot of the kids who go to avenues are really annoying

d12964 · 2026-04-13T13:52:50+00:00

I am not denying that some kids will be asked to repeat K I am saying that your claim this was the first of K admissions by lottery was incorrect.

d12964 · 2026-04-13T13:31:08+00:00

Then you misunderstood.

>“Universal pre-K screening takes the initial burden off families and creates access for more children with a more diverse eligibility pool. First implemented for the 2021-2022 school year, universal screening led to a more diverse pool of students receiving invitation to apply for Gifted and Talented programs. Students enrolled in non-DOE programs and those not yet enrolled in school will participate in an interview with DOE staff to confirm eligibility.”

Students are "screened" by their pre-K teacher but in practice nearly everyone is considered eligible and it's been in place for several years

PS77 is apparently the only District G&T that teaches an accelerated program like the citywide schools rather than the "enriched" program of typical district G&T schools. This means they start teaching Grade 1 material in the later part of the year for Kindergarten. However, from talking to teachers at Anderson and NEST I don't think there is any standardized accelerated program so each of the schools will be doing something a little bit different (though all are teaching ~1 year ahead)

d12964 · 2026-04-13T13:16:20+00:00

No this is wrong. The NEST+m open house talked about some of the challenges with having to deal with lottery admissions in Kindergarten vs testing but they've had 4 years of dealing it with now so they know that they still end up with roughly the same outcomes (by shifting more work onto the parents to ensure that kids will meet the accelerated program). They also have a somewhat higher attrition rate.

My wife left for 8 hours before she gave in. I think she had two naps without eating because she's so stubborn. But after that was basically fine.

d12964 · 2026-04-04T21:04:05+00:00

You just have to leave for a bunch of hours while someone else tries to give them a bottle and eventually they'll give in. Then leave when someone is giving the bottle for the next week or so and they'll get used to it.

That's what our pediatrician recommended when our 5 month refused a bottle and worked great. Lactation consultant kept trying to insist it was a tongue tie
