Re: infant daycare options in downtown JC?

Re Growing Tree - were you aware of this incident a few years ago? Other than 9/11, I can't recall seeing that level of emergency workers out in full force for those kids...

As a parent with a child attending at the time, I think the school dealt with the issue appropriately. Parents were notified, the teacher who was responsible was fired immediately and the school implemented SOPs to address this and prevent it and similar situations from happening in the future.

We are also looking for a pediatrician in the area. I have heard mixed reviews of Tribeca - specifically that they are more holistic and hesitant to prescribe antibiotics. Also, do they require all patients to get vaccinated or do they accept children at the practice who are not vaccinated? They are convenient, but not sure if that makes the switch worth it. Any opinions on this?

They do require vaccination. However, you seem to have quite the conundrum if you don't want a practice that is too granola, yet you don't want to vaccinate.

We just sold our condo. Got 3 offers over asking. We accepted an offer 10% over asking. Buyer wasn't all cash (none of our offers were), but paid 30% down.

The city council just passed an ordinance that certain properties in JC cannot have parking permits. This will affect Dixon Mills. I hope everything is in walking distance and they will not need to park on the street. This is Candice's idea.

As far as I know, it has ALWAYS been the official policy that the JC Parking Authority will not issue you a resident's parking permit if you live in a building that has parking available, EVEN IF THAT PARKING IS OPTIONAL OR REQUIRES YOU TO BUY YOUR SPOT. That's a fairly smart policy, as most people would choose to forgo paying for a deeded parking spot (which can cost as much as 50K in some buildings) or pay the going rents for monthly parking anywhere if you could instead just pay $15 for a yearly pass.

I live in Dixon Mills and was able to provide a note from management saying that I did not own a spot and could not purchase one, and they gave em a parking permit.

And I HATE my ventless washer/dryer. Shrinks all of your clothes and you will have to iron everything. Takes about 4-5 hours to do a load of laundry and by load of laundry, I mean a towel or 2.

Re: Heights Survival Guide - buy car vs. car share/UBER?

#14

Just can't stay away

Definitely do a combination of Uber and Zipcar. This is what we did until we had a baby, which is a whole other ballgame. Heights to downtown is like $7 each way without a surge. A zipcar is $140 weekend days. Think about that vs. a car payment, insurance and gas.

We have 3 and they get along fine. If you choose to adopt 2 together, LHS will help you find a pair that compliment each other. One cat for each of your boys :)

If you can swing it, get two. Cat's like each other's company and the cost of having 2 versus 1 isn't that much different.

Something to keep in mind for next year...

This sounds like a GREAT idea. I am surprised that there aren't many more options like this one. I think that requiring parents to be involved in their kids schooling is a good way to establish and foster the healthy habit of parental involvement in kids' learning and development.

I'm sure there aren't more programs like this, because most parents put their kids in daycare because they have to work. The lack of ability to commit to a coop doesn't mean you aren't involved in your kid's learning and development...

Re: daycare feedback & recommendations

#18

Just can't stay away

My son has been in Growing Tree since he was 8 weeks old. We're very happy with the program and his teachers are great. However, they only go up to 4 years old, so I'm not sure I would start at a program knowing I'd have to find another one in 2 years.

There is also smart success academy that's opening on Newark and the Brunswick school that's opening.

I know this is a long shot, but I'm trying to do a good deed. I rented a zipcar from the Dixon Mills lot on Saturday morning. The person who was in it before me left prescription pet medicine in the car. I'm trying to return it in case she needs its. Pls feel free to PM me if it was you.
