NYC Family Needs & Hours of Operation

Our hours are intentionally designed for full-time working NYC families while respecting children’s stamina and developmental needs.

Half Day Hours: 9:00am - 12:00pm - Only available for children 2-5 years old

 

Extended Care: Children who are One must be fully phased in before participating in extended care

Age Group Design Philosophy

Summer Camp programming is designed to meet children where they are developmentally, with clear distinctions between age groups while maintaining shared structure and values.

 

Ones (Age 1): Focus on consistency, security, and sensory exploration through routine, close caregiver support, and gentle engagement.
 

Twos (Age 2): Support emerging independence while maintaining predictable routines, clear boundaries, and guided social interaction.
 

Preschool (Ages 3–5): Encourage confidence, imagination, and collaboration through play-based learning and social-emotional development.

 

Lower Elementary — K–1: Emphasize early executive functioning, collaboration, and confidence-building through hands-on activities, guided projects, and playful academic exploration.
 

Lower Elementary — Grades 1–2: Provide deeper project-based learning, problem-solving, and creative inquiry with increased independence, leadership opportunities, and sustained focus.
 

Note: Grouping within Lower Elementary may vary depending on enrollment numbers, with flexibility to combine or separate cohorts as appropriate.
