OUR PROGRAMS

Emergent curriculum with NYC as an extended classroom.

Preschool

Early childhood education through both private programs and New York City’s Universal Pre-K initiative (3-K and 4-K).

Afternoon Club

Your workday doesn’t end at 2:30. Neither does ours. Afternoon Club is after-school care where learning keeps going, but more low-key and a lot more fun

Camp Kids Club

Camps by the day, week or season where kids get creative in the classroom and connected to NYC in their neighborhoods.

WHAT WE STAND ON

The NYPKC Principles

1

Educators with presence

Certified leads in every room. Artists, musicians and performers in the building, on payroll, in the work.

2

Creativity as an outcome

Knowledge is getting cheap. Creative thinking is what separates a kid. We grade it like an academic result, because it is one.

3

We heart NY

The city is the fifth classroom. Greenmarkets, museums, the block, the park, the subway map on the wall.

4

The whole family

Honest communication, real flexibility, and a community of parents who get it. Raising an original takes more than a classroom.

How do parents feel about NY Preschool & 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!

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.

“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.
