Applying to kindergarten is an important step, but it can be extra challenging if your child was born in the month of August. Just know that you are not alone! Every year families call the Parents League with questions about August birthdays, so we’ve compiled a list of common questions and answers for this special admissions situation.
Special Needs Schools
Parents League Special Needs School Advisors are knowledgeable about schools for children with special needs including preschools, day schools in the city and boarding schools across the country. Phone consultations can be scheduled and are included with Parents League membership.
In addition, the Parents League holds four Special Needs Group Discussion Sessions during the academic year. Following a support group format and facilitated by our special needs advisors, these sessions are opportunities to discuss all aspects of educating and parenting children with special needs. Attendance at the group discussion is included with membership.
