Hi, my husband got a great business opportunity in South Florida.
Part of the agreement is that he will have to be physically part of the business for the next 3 years, and then he can branch off remotely, which means we'll have to move to Miami for afew years should he be taking on the opportunity.
We have 3 little kids and need a very frum School for them. The Frumest out there since we are Chassidish.
I don't expect to find anything with Yiddish Speaking classes, but needs to be very frum and erlich.
Which school and Cheder would you recommend?

As I understand it from people that I know in Florida, the FL schools are very mixed with wide ranges of observance. Its like any other OOT community. I don't think there is one school that is the frummest.

Good luck, but schools are very mixed and I don't think you'll fond what you're looking for. Out of town life is very different from living in a chassidish community.

I don't think there are Mosdos in Florida. Any school there will be a culture shock for chassidish kids & it will be hard for them to adapt back to chassidish schools when you move back.

There is a cheder that was started last year. Not Yiddish speaking but I think it’s worth looking into. It’s only for younger grades at this point. In NMB under the leadership of Rabbi Feldbrand.

I agree with glitter. I also heard they’re opening up a chassidish Yeshiva in north Miami Beach.

There is a small cheder already open in NMB for the lower grades (don't think it goes past 1st, if that). For the other kids, most consider YES (Yeshiva Elementary) to be the frummest option although most of that is hype and the mix is pretty similar to what's you'd find in Yeshiva Toras Emes. The few chassidish families in town though do tend to send to YES.

Where will you be moving to? Miami Beach or north Miami Beach?
NMB started a cheder last year. It's not official chassidish but the person who runs it is a chassidish Rav. Rabbi Feldbrand.
There's a new cheder starting in Miami Beach this year. Run by a Rav in the community as well.
Which community will you be moving to?

NMB person here. I suggest looking into Rav Feldbrand's cheider as well as Yeshiva Elementary School for girls. The Rav has a shul too called Kedushas Levi.

It's very small at this point. Only a few kids.
Not chassidish, but probably similar to the cheder in NMB.
If you will be moving to MB, its worth looking into.

For your family size/ages R' Feldbrands Cheder is prob best for your son and there are several options for your daughter. A 3 year old can go to a smaller private nursery, there are a few in NMB (but not sure you'll find a space if you want for this September) or she can go to Junior PreK in either Toras Emes or YES. Honestly most people you speak to would prob suggest YES for your family but keep in mind that Toras Emes is much more local to NMB and much easier to bring her to (think a 5 minute drive vs a 30 minute drive). And really has the same overall mix of families that YES has but no one chassidish. For a 3 year old I wouldn't send to YES from NMB, it's a massive schlep. Again, assuming you can get into either school if you are talking about the '23-24 school year.
