Lol - assume this is a joke

You know nothing about NYC preschools.

Could you share your insights about wsms?

It is a feeder school to a couple of TTs. Strong exmissions.

Any feeder schools to Harvard, Yale, Stanford?

Even if you aren't a sibling or legacy? Can you still get into a TT from WSMS?

Yes. Plenty of kids (not siblings or legacy) go to Brearley, Collegiate, Dalton, Spence, Chapin and Trinity and etc.

Interesting. What is the source for this? Is this widely recognized/consensus view? What is the tangible benefit that the higher tier provides? Is it mostly reflected in stronger exmission?

Anonymous wrote:Some of these answers... no. Here is the ranking of all the TT pre-schools in Manhattan:

TT of the TT: Episcopal and 92 Street Y

Then: Temple Emanu-El, Brick Church, Park Children's Day on the UWS (huge connections at Brearley)

Then: STMPG, All Souls, West Side Montessori, Washington Market, Garden House, Christ Church

(But even the third tier of the TT are very TT).

Particularly interested in Christ vs Brick. How big a difference is it and is it worth some extra commute to go to the higher tier one?

brick church will have tons of siblings and legacies. tougher to get into K if you are not on of them.

Tougher than if you were connected, yes. Tougher than if you are also non-connected at CCDS, disagree

Big vs small school and commute should factor into your decision. CCDS is tiny compared to Brick, with both the positives and negatives that brings. Also pretty different locations.

Not sure source but feels pretty accurate based on my experience. Exmissions, resources, admissions difficulty/selectivity. But these are all great schools regardless of “tier”

Proud member of the Brick Church class of '78! I think my parents sent me there because it was the closest to our house. Times have changed I see.

Source is word of mouth and 10 years of my life wasted on Urban Baby.

I would agree with this list except maybe I would place 92y above episcopal. Also, I would switch Park Children’s Day with West Side Montessori school. It has strong connections with Brearley, Trinity, Dalton and Collegiate.
