Preschool registration

Did anyone have to camp out to make sure there DC's got into the one you wanted? The one we want them to go to has a later registration date than all the rest and if they dont get in, we're screwed. I NEED them to have a morning session bc I will not give up their naps by 3 Chat Icon

Re: Preschool registration

I didn't have to camp out, but I remember calling and going over to see the school right after New Years 2 years ago. The classes filled up so fast! And the deposit to hold your spot was non-refundable, so if you changed your mind, you were screwed!

This time around, I am lucky, since my DD gets priority registration since my DS is already in the school. We already enrolled her Chat Icon

No not for the 2 yr program but for the 3 yr program it is harder to get the time you want. I already registered Andrew for this Sept in Dec 08.

Re: Preschool registration

My cousin is a teacher at a nursery school in Port Washington, and they had their registration in October. She said the registration took place on a Saturday morning, and moms were lined up at 4:30 AM!! Chat Icon By the time it was over at noon, there were no morning spots left for the 3 & 4 yr. olds, and only a limited amount in the 2 yr. old class. That to me is insane.

Yeah, I had to get there super-early (well, not camping-out early Chat Icon) and was *still* shut out of the am session for the 2s!! I was the first on the waiting list and got in over the summer after someone dropped out. Even the following year when I registered as an "in house" parent, I got there one hour before opening and was the last one in for the am session for the 3s!!

It's crazy!!
