Sun Sessions and Sun Sessions Babies! DROP-IN Storysongs, Music, and Movement Outside in your favorite park!
Sun Sessions are creative and fun music and movement classes for children ages 0-4. Two teachers, one of whom plays guitar, will greet your child under a shady tree in the vibrant park setting. Sun Sessions include fun and child-safe percussion instruments, stories, and playful musical improvisation. Mixed ages create a nurturing, family atmosphere, and there is also a babies only class in Washington Square Park on Wednesdays at 11am and 12pm!
Why mixed-ages? Many early childhood educators agree that mixed-age grouping allows ALL children to learn at their own pace - oh so important in the very early stages of development. Click here for a video on the benefits of mixed age grouping.
Sun Sessions are DROP-IN classes! Come whenever you want, wherever you want. AND, purchase class packs and enjoy a discount. Reservations are necessary to guarantee there is space for your child. Use your package at ANY Sun Sessions location, ANY day, ANY age-appropriate time!
Click here to see a video of Sun Sessions on Youtube! Please note: Kids at Work is fully permitted by the NYC Parks and NY State Departments to run its programs. Many other programs do not apply for permits and are consequently ejected from the park or moved. As such, the parks has asked us not to use the parachute you see in the video on the lawns this summer in 2010. Participants may bring their own blankets to sit on and class will still be just as fun!

What if the class I want says "FULL?" Occasionally we stop accepting additional pack-holders in a given class. This is to limit overcrowding in our classes. There may still be room for your child for an individual drop-in, OR the class may open up partway through the semester. Please inquire. If you've already purchased a package for a class marked full, there will most likely be room for your child in class.

Sun Sessions class packs are NOT usable at Summer 2010 classes at the Kids at Work studio. You should register your child separately for the Toddle Around or Mess it Up programs at 102 W14th Street.
What if it rains? Classes are canceled in the event of rain at the discretion of Kids at Work. Classes are never canceled due to heat. Special week of rain make-ups run the last week of the summer semester (August 16 - 20). Rain make-ups are scheduled according to how many classes were canceled at a particular location. This means there may be no class during the eleventh week (if it did not rain), or there may be 2-3 classes the eleventh week. Rain make-ups may be scheduled at a different time or day of the week than the regular class meeting time. There are no refunds for rained out classes, so please plan your package size accordingly. Remember, you may use your package at ANY location, ANY day, ANY time within the Sun Sessions program.
