New to Buffalo

Hi Cinthia, I know nothing about the school but can help with the other questions. First for the doctor, I use Tonawanda Peds. I have had great experience with them and have recommended them to many people who do use them now. They have a few different offices around town with different names but the number I have for them is ###-###-####. They can let you know were all their offices are. As for the sports, there is a group in the area called Kids Play. My daughter did soccer with them one year and there were a few girls. I think they do other sports also. The number I have for them is ###-###-####. Hope this helps and welcome to Buffalo!

Hello Cinthia,
Welcome to Buffalo. My grandaughter attends D'Youville Porter Campus(School #3). So far my daughter, and I are impressed with the educational curriculum. My grandaughter just had her moving up day from kindergarten. As far as a pediatrician I recommend Dr. Johnathan Daniels. He's located on Main Street@ Main Pediatriacts. Also, I'm a licensed Child Care Provider that offers (free) transportation. You can view my web site: funtasticadventuresdaycare.com. Good Luck.

I second the Tonawanda peds, however I will only see 1 doctor there and because she is very non-mainstream. Not sure what you're looking for, but the one thing I like about the practice as a whole is they are not big on over medicating children. Other than that, the practice as a whole is very mainstream, which is ok if you fit in with that parenting style. We practice a lot of alternative parenting and Dr. Segal fits perfectly with that. She treats all kinds though, so its not like she wouldnt work for others who were more mainstream. I'm really not too familiar with the other docs in the practice, so I cant comment on that. As far as your other questions, I'm not really familiar with your area so I cant be of more help. Sorry!

I'm assuming your follow-up was directed at me. LOL, where am I criticizing you? I merely asked you what is wrong with a school being strict, what details have you heard about the school and asked you what your definition of strict is. Please re-read my post. Nothing in it criticized you and I'm sorry you took it that way.

I don't know anything about the Frank A. Sedita academy, but I have to ask, what is wrong with it being strict? What details have you heard?

With all the "laxness" of today's society and parenting in general, it would seem that a strict (by today's standards) would be something you'd want, not something you'd avoid.

By strict do you mean that that standards are high and rules are enforced and it's expected that the children are respectful to each other and the staff. That sounds like nirvana in a school setting. If not, what IS strict?
