WSJ: Kindergarten D-Day arrives

FEB 12, 2011 -- It's a big weekend for New York City parents trying to get their little ones into kindergartens at elite private schools. Admissions directors and consultants say there are even fewer slots available due to an increase in sibling admissions.

"It's the continuation of Manhattan's baby boom and what's happening this year is that there are more legacy kids and siblings getting preference and crowding others out," says Suzanne Rheault, CEO of Aristotle Circle, an admissions-preparation company in New York.
