Nursery University opens in NYC: April 24th

If you’re a Manhattan parent (or even if you’re not), this is a film you should definitely see—either to learn about the process or to be glad that it’s over and done with!”

To me, applying to nursery school for my eldest child, TJ, was traumatic. Although I was involved greatly in the community (BOCOCA) and TJ was very smart in all his interviews, he did not get into any of the three schools we applied (I now understand should have applied to more and hand-written thank you notes). It is the reason we are now living in Nyack, where I walked into the local Montessori and TJ was accepted on the spot.

Nursery University gives an honest, non-biased look at the process. With grace, it follows five families’ journeys while also offering a behind-the-scenes look at the experts who advise them and the school directors who struggle to determine which “applicants” to allow through their doors.
