Kindergarten starts at 5. However, you can get lucky and get your child into Pre-K or K0/K1 in Boston Public. Basically “free” child care if you get a seat. Seats are limited and the state is not required to offer a seat, but you might get lucky. Doesn’t hurt to apply. You can pre-register online now.

As I mentioned, there’s also a a Universal Pre-K offered thru Boston Public, that’s a separate program and has separate registration process afaik.

Registration starts January 4th. Can’t register unless your child turns 3 by September 1st. There are very, very limited number of spaces for kids who turn 3 by September 1. Most will have to wait until they are 4.

There’s also Universal Pre-K programs (even more limited) that have a separate registration portal. Sooner you register, more chances of getting a seat.

The September age cut off is dumb as shit. “No child left behind…unless he/she was born between September 1st and December 31st”.

Registered nurses are not eligible for a H1B work visa due to the fact that nurse degree is 2 years long (as far as I know). AFAIK, if you want to be a RN in US, you need a green card path which is an extremely long process.

You can try to get an OPT after you graduate, but that will only give you a 1 year authorization.

Not being from Boston doesn't mean you can't read signs. That's what they will tell you. Bus Stops are usually very clearly marked, otherwise people wouldn't know where to catch the bus. They won't waive this one.

And I've never seen a handicap ramp that wasn't marked as such. If you can prove that a handicap ramp wasn't marked properly, you might get this one waived. Go to the ramp and take a picture.

Be apologetic, but don't say "I'm not from Boston, so I didn't know". Parking signs are the same everywhere.
