[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child got accepted at a preschool with decent exmissions. It is NOT one of the feeder preschools that are usually mentioned in this forum. Child will start in that school in September in their 3's program.

Is it better if we do 3's and 4's program in that preschool?  or is it better if we attend 3's program in this preschool, then try to apply and see if we can get in at a feeder preschool for 4's program? 4's program is child's last year of preschool. After 4's program, child will be in kindergarten. We are an unconnected family by the way. No legacy, no siblings in any of the NYC schools.[/quote]

I'd stay at the non-feeder as long as they've placed kids in independent schools before and are familiar with the process.[/quote]

Thanks for the response. Yes the non-feeder preschool have done exmissions to independent schools and they seem quite familiar with the process.

May I please know why would you choose / advise to stay in the non-feeder preschool instead of trying to move to a feeder preschool for 4's program?

Wouldn't going to a feeder preschool at 4's and doing exmissions from there, increase our chance to get accepted to a top-tier kindergarten program, versus exmissions from a non-feeder preschool? (as an unconnected family)

Would kindergarten programs value our child's application more if they see in the application that child is in a feeder preschool, versus if they see that child is in a non-feeder preschool?
