How do parents feel about NY Kids Club?

All the adults in the building seem to be trained in the same manner. They use child friendly language while incorporating age appropriate structure and boundaries. The environment is very CLEAN and SAFE. Everything is padded and all the equipment/bathrooms are clearly sanitized. This is a huge plus for us.

My daughter attended the 2s program for the 2023-2024 school year. Our family loved her teachers, the staff, the facility and the programming. Great school!

We LOVE NY Kids Club. My son attended preschool here for 3’s and PKA and we utilized NY Kids Club for after school care both years. They are fabulous. Mr. Nick and team are energized, professional and kind. Even when the staff may rotate (and it’s not that often), they are always high quality. The space also hosts birthday parties. The large gym and trampoline is a big draw and adds to the overall experience. Front desk is also very attentive, friendly, and helpful. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Lisa S, Brooklyn Heights

This is our second summer attending drop-in classes at NYKC and we could not be happier with our experience. The staff is incredibly attentive and professional – shout to Ms. Nichole and Ms. Moss! Most of the classes we attended had parents participate; however, today my little guy tried an independent teacher-lead class and Ms. Moss voluntarily helped my son transition while manning the front desk.

My son comes home excited about what he’s learned and eager to share his day with me. Their ability to blend learning and play is exceptional, and I’ve seen my son grow in so many ways because of their dedication and expertise. The front desk staff are equally amazing. They greet us warmly every morning… Knowing that I can rely on them for support makes a world of difference in managing my hectic schedule.

Ryan S, Long Island City

“Our entire family feels so lucky to be a part of this place. Their level of care is unmatched. From the moment we stepped in to ask about their programs to now having spent a lot of time at their beautiful and clean facility we have felt extremely cared for.
