Hello UES parents/guardians!
Does or did anyone have infants at the Manhattan Schoolhouse on 85th and 1st or 76th and 1st? If so, how was your enroll experience?
I am looking to gauge our chances of getting an infant spot starting in January 2022 (some time away still, but hear me out). On their website they advertise continuous enrollment, but over the phone they advised me that most spots get filled in September and that while we would be at the top of the waitlist for January 2022 if we joined it now, a spot would not be guaranteed. In fact, the only way that a spot could become available is if someone dropped out just at the right time!
This doesn't give me much confidence and makes joining their (paid) waitlist seem a bit less useful.
Does anyone have experience of enrolling an infant at this daycare, especially off-cycle (i.e., not in September?)
Thanks in advance for your advice!
