More than one person told me on two different occasions that I should start applying when my baby will be one!?!! I know it’s difficult to get in to the great chedarim esp when one doesn’t belong or want to send to a specific mosdos but applying at one years old sounds a bit outrageous to me. Can anyone confirm if that’s really the way to go?! I feel like the secretary would have a good laugh if I call to apply for my one year old newborn baby…

It’s a joke. No one is talking to you if your kid is 1.

I know how painfully difficult it is to get to certain cheders so I’ll do whatever it takes but glad to hear I still have time. Thank you for the responses

Administrator from viznitz told dh he has to apply the day he's born. Maybe a little exaggerated but when registration was going and my baby 9 months old administrator told dh again to put him on the list to reserve a spot.

Around Chanukah time, the Chanukah before you'd like to send him, so when he's about 2.

They dont accept based on who they want in their parent/student body, not necessarily by the order of application. If they dont want you, you can apply when the child is in utero, it wont make a difference. Sad state of the situation. Start donating money to that institution maybe.

Almost like investing in Hermes.
