Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

DC born in Feb 2008. We live in Prospect Heights brooklyn. Started looking into schools and totally confused. I would really love to avoid expensive programs but seems there is no public school option until DC is older. We have a nanny now. Should DC be starting something this fall/next fall?? Even the websites out there (greatschools etc) don't seem to have helpful info. Suggestions please!

In response to above -- I've known several people get off the wait-list there if they didn't get in straight away, so don't start getting anxious yet. Also, check parkslopeparents.com -- they have recommendations for childcare/schools and reviews of daycares and preschools in the area (including Prospect Heights). You may also want to look at Montessori Day School (I think they're on Underhill), although I don't have any personal experience with them. Also, some schools in Park Slope that are pretty close to Flatbush include Park Slope Childcare Collective and St. John's Kidz (the latter is a daycare but I've heard great things about them). Also, Beth Elohim (on 8th & Garfield) has a great program and isn't that far from Prospect Heights, depending on where you live. GL!
