    Call Agudah @ (212) 797-9000 and ask for Leah Steinberg. She will give you names of P3 providers.

    Good luck.

    P3 maven , the fact that you are even use such a user name, implies the fact that you know about P3. How can you know this P3 center is so unbelievable if you just found out about it?

    Funny, to me it seems as if p3 maven is jaime and she’s trying to advertise herself.

    Smartcookie, I think your on to something here.

    P-3 is a special education service offered by the NYC Department of Education to private school students; basically, it’s free tutoring for kids who are deemed eligible. Eligibility is determined by a psychological evaluation conducted by the DOE without regard to income.

    To provide P-3 services, one must be NY state certified and willing to work either: a) directly for the DOE on a 1099 tax form and receive your wages at least 6 weeks after the end of each month, or b) for a P-3 agency (such P3 Maven’s post) for less pay than the DOE offers, but on a W-2 tax form and (hopefully) every 2 or 4 weeks.

    Also, most Yeshivos only allow P-3 services to be provided during afternoon hours (or at the child’s home or a P-3 center in the evening) which is a big drawback for mothers who wish to be home for their children.

    no one is being anything but calm

    as far as “who cares?”

    i care

    no one likes to be deceived and lied to.

    which may or may not be the case here but there are strong grounds for suspicion.

    I am a P-3 Provider and i am happy with their services because, they will provide services to my son in 2nd grade toward the end of the summer. I inquired to work with them the upcoming year and they pay the week after i bill instead of getting paid from the Board of Ed 2 or more months later. Thats the reasons i suggested them from the ad i saw in the community magazine the day after i poseted.

    Im sorry for the confusion, i wanted to help people that were looking for providers.

    #738241

    thank you for the explanation.

    no more posts on this matter please

    only on the subject.

    thanks

    Most schools do have P3 providers they work with. I went to DOE evaluation to try to get services for my children. Hopefully they will be approved and will get the extra educational help they need. Our school has a lady they work with specifically to provide P3.

    Just make sure your child is really getting serviced at school for the full hours entitled. It’s tempting for P3 providers to cut down on time spent with each child so as to squeeze in more children.

    Also, insist that your child not be grouped with more than one other child in order to maximize the benefit of the tutoring.

    tomim tihye,

    as a p3 provider myself, I would not advise parents to “insist that your child not be grouped with more than one other child”. The reason being that p3 providers get paid per session, based on the amount of child they provide for. I don’t know of many p3 providers who are willing to tutor only one child at a time. I would be weary of a p3 provider willing to work for less pay.

    As a side note, there’s nothing wrong with a group session. I find it a more lively and productive then a one-on-one session.

    Why was my post deleted. I am wrote I was confused. P3 maven mentioned she needed a p3 provider for her kids, yet she is a p3 provider herself. Can she please explain how come she can’t give that service to her children. I don’t understand why my post was deleted. Her OP didn’t make sense to me unless the Mods understood her point and can possibly explain it to me. Thanks. Don’t mean to cause trouble. Just a little confused.

    I think its harder to give your kids P-3 if your the mother. Better to get someone from outside whom the kids do not know than to learn with someone they are comfortable with. (not so hard to understand!)

    I am looking for a P3 provider for my son. He has 10 P3s. Ideally in afternoon after 3:00 for 21/2 hours per day Mon-Thur. He is 9 years old in 4th grade. We live in BP. Any ideas?

    Will your son benefit from such long hours of learning?

    Perhaps it would be beneficial to remove him from secular studies in Yeshiva altogether (and probably parts of Limudei Kodesh, too) and use that time (either in school or at home) for P3 services.

    The idea is for him not to attend Yeshiva for English and hopefully have someone come to our house. Also, we are thinking of maybe only doing 2 hours a day and not 2 1/2 hours.

    BTW – we are in contact with the Agudah and we are following up on some leads. No positive hits yet. It is difficult since in the middle of the year most P3 providers are already booked.
