I think there is another one as well. there are also playgroups.
bussing I believe is private pay van service if you want. people live close to the schools. not sure about highschool.

Getting into schools shouldn't be an issue. The 2 main options are Yeshiva Ketana and YBH. Yeshiva Ketana is more to the right. I haven't heard of space being a problem at either, and they are very committed to serving the community. So as long as you pick the school where you belong and will follow their rules, it's one major stress you won't have to deal with.

Hi, we are looking at Passaic as our tiny OOT community is shrinking and not meeting the chinuch needs of our family - any Imas from there who can help us with a few questions?

1. is it possible to get into frum schools? Or is it like certain other hubs with kids that can't get into school? School no issues getting in 3 schools in town ykp ybh and the Clifton cheader/ by most send to the first 2

2. Daycare and babysitting: Is there anything for frum families (run by and classes led by frum women) in daycare for a full day? Are there babysitters? Any idea of the costs? Chai tots and gan kochvim and gig ones then many in home ones

3. Bussing to elementary/high school - is this something that happens or is there no bussing? Carpools is what most do here you can pay for Private bussing high school If local is carpools out in different areas is bussing my hs dd takes a bus
Passaic is awesome we love it here

TIA!
