The Ultimate Guide to Applying to NYC Preschools – Bash & Co.

Given the mystery and anxiety surrounding the crazy process in NYC (there is even a documentary on it: Nursery University), we’ve been getting quite a few questions about preschool admissions. Although this year’s applications cycle has already started, I thought I’d share our experience navigating the preschool game of thrones. While I’m certainly no expert, my last name is not Rockefeller, we didn’t donate a new library, and we didn’t hire an admissions consultant (yes, they exist for preschools), we did manage some pretty successful results, getting accepted at every preschool we applied to (exception: we were waitlisted at one school). So, I hope that sharing our experience and some of our tips might be helpful.
