| Admissions Season |
Five steps for getting your little one into school.
By Jennifer Brozost and Vimmi Shroff
New York City academic admissions season starts in September and ends in February/March. Here are five easy steps to ensure a smooth and painless ride through the educational process.
1. Get organized.
One of the most essential requirements for a smooth admissions season is to be organized. In September, you will need to schedule and attend tours and Open Houses, mail in your applications, and be present at various playgroups and interviews.
To keep all of your commitments in check, buy a calendar or create an Excel spreadsheet. List the schools you like with the complete contact information for each, including the phone number, e-mail, mailing address and, most important, name of the director of admissions.
Each school has its own application deadline. Note all deadlines, Open Houses, tours and interview dates. Maintain a folder or calendar that is easily accessible. We suggest a duplicate calendar for your spouse. Invest in a filing system, too. All correspondence from each school should be saved in its designated folder.
Keep a notebook handy to record your thoughts, impressions and observations of each school. Record your sentiments immediately after each school visit. This log is an invaluable tool to have as you approach the decision-making process.

 Worried About Applying To Nursery School Or Kindergarten?
Authors Of The NYC Private School Admissions Handbook Share Their Advice
In 2008, Jennifer Brozost, then an admissions officer at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, approached her co-worker Vimmi Shroff with an idea: why not start a business to help New York City parents navigate the notoriously nerve-wracking process of applying to private schools?
The two women have seen New York's private school admissions from every angle. Jennifer taught second grade before working in admissions for seven years; Vimmi taught kindergarten before her eight-year admissions career. They bonded when Jennifer was applying to schools for her daughter at the same time as Vimmi was applying for her son.
