Also, any general feedback on Farmingdale (FRG) - would another nearby airport be a better option? Thanks so much for your help!

Requirements:
1) Excellent safety record
2) We typically fly with 4 people (immediate family), occasionally with 5 or 6 (parents or nanny)
3) Currently make the same trip 3-4x per year: LGA - MKE (Milwaukee) round trip. I'm flexible on which airport I leave from and which airport we land at, as long as they are in the general area. Farmingdale FRG would be ideal as an alternative to LGA due to its location, and ETB (West Bend) as an alternative to MKE.
4) Often flexible when we fly - "we want to visit sometime in spring", but the actual dates can be flexible and we can fly any day of the week and most times of day, so I would be interested in taking the opposite side of one-way flights between the Milwaukee area and NYC area. Or we might have to visit on a specific weekend, but we don't care which day we fly out or fly back. Could book months in advance or a few days in advance. A few hours in advance would be hard with little kids, but we could probably swing it if a great price popped up.
5) One-way flights - this isn't for business travel where we are flying in an out on the same day. We typically fly out and stay 4-7 days each trip.
6) Don't need a completely private plane - happy to share with other passengers if someone wants to tag along and defer costs and doesn't mind flying with two little kids who will just eat snacks and play on their ipads for the entire trip.
7) Would occasionally want to bring a large dog with us, but that isn't a critical requirement. In-flight wifi would also be helpful, but not required.
