Hi,

My girls are going to be switching from yeshiva ktana to the Hillel and I was wondering if there are any parents here who have done the same switch. How are they different? I want to mentally prepare my girls before school starts and any information would really help.

Thank you!

I know at least one family that switched, but the only girl is older.

FWIW: I have one going into 1st and one going into an early childhood class. They're in Summer Playland now, and while it seems to be mostly YBH, there are definitely YKP kids in my kids' bunks. If they do anything like gymnastics or whatever around town, they've run into kids from both schools. My kids are good friends with neighbors who go to YKP. The transition doesn't have to be dramatic, I don't think.

Most girls wear polo shirts rather than buttondowns, and there's a big variety of shoes, but it tends to be more laid back than YKP - most kids wear sneakers or other casual shoes rather than Venettinis or flats - and that goes for upper grades as well as lower.

Do you have any specific questions about the education or the culture that you're wondering about?

as far as education and culture-we did a lot of research before deciding to switch so we know about that. It's more like the everyday going on that I feel would help them. Like how does lunch go? Do they need to wear knee socks like in ykop?

The parent body hashkafah varies, but throughout , the common theme is sincerety, acceptance of others and a general Simcha’s hachayim.

The kids go to high school all over. BH, the girls from YBH have a reputation that precedes them
