Banker Preschool in Manhattan

This was a tough topic to find a forum for, but I figure the most knowledge will be found here among the i-bankers' forum, so thank you in advance.

Soon Ill be heading to NYC for the next few years of my life, first for 2 years MBA then 3+ years investment banking (thats the goal at least, the MBA part is certain)

I have a 4 year old (just turned 4) and I would like to enroll her in pre-school in Manhattan this Fall, ideally in the lower half of Manhattan. Would be nice if my daughter went to school with the daughters of other professionals in banking...does such a preschool exist to anyone's knowledge (one that all the banker's kids go to) ?

Anyone have any helpful hints or good resources for exploring this in general?

What am I looking at paying for the year? This will most likely have to come out of grad student loans.

Thanks

I was going to make a dirty joke, but we're talking about the mother of his child so it's just wrong to.

You should allow a more qualified parent to adopt your child.

That is a truely wretched and vile thing to say, GTFO.

This is by far the worst thing I've seen someone say on WSO. Beyond malicious. Mods, you guys need get this guy blacklisted.

Hate to say it, but the cost of pre school in Manhattan probably isn't much cheaper than your MBA tuition

dude, with 2 years of mba upcoming and ur subsequent career uncertain, i wouldn't recommend putting ur kid in one of those insane nyc preschools that i heard can run up to 30k a year---

put urself first and then worry about ur kids, public schools are fine as long as u hire a good tutor for a few times a week... personal debt is evil

A good public school is just as good - gives your kid a chance at a more well-adjusted life, without having to have her mind warped by the distorted reality that is NYC private schools... Some of the coolest guys I know in banking went to public high schools. Just saying...

Look into Stuyvesant down the road. I know a couple guys who went there - awesome learning experience from what they tell me.

Paying college-level tuition for K-12 seems absolutely ridiculous to me. The incremental return of a private k-12 education over a public one probably isn't enough to justify the costs unless you're a true bsd. Also, if you're not a bsd, your kids will end up distinctly outside the "cool" circle of friends - so take that into consideration as well. Just my two cents.

 

Your kid doesn't need a damn tutor in preschool, come on now. Public school will do just fine, playing with blocks doesn't require any advanced skills and a tutor isn't going to help them "get ahead" in preschool. I don't see why you'd want them to be around only bankers' kids, wouldn't it be a better experience to have them around everyone's kids and let them see what different types of people look and act like? Maybe it could even, I dunno, help them out in the long run? Just a thought.
