Come to any class, any day, any time with a reservation. If you’ve purchased a “babies package” you will be limited to classes with a minimum age of under 12 mos.

Your reservation is final one hour before the class start time.

If you cancel your class within the “late cancel” window, the value of the class is forfeited.

If you cancel your reservation outside the cancellation window, or “early cancel”, the value of the class goes back on to your account for use at another time! This happens automatically.

Having issues? Text us at 929-581-82234 or call us at 212-488-8800. Real people, in our physical space in flatiron, will help you! Kids at Work uses Mindbody online as a booking and point of sale platform. We have been with Mindbody for over 10 years. Our mindbody system is integrated in real time with our website "sign up" and "buy now" buttons. There is also a "family login" button at the upper right of our website where you can view account information such as how many classes your child has left on their account. Trouble accessing previously purchased classes almost always happens as a result of a duplicate account. Duplicate accounts can sometimes be a result of choosing to login with "facebook, apple, or google", as when you do this, mindbody often confuses you for a new family/student/account. Because of this we strongly recommend using the username/password option to log in. If you think you've created a duplicate account, you can log out and re-log in using the username and password you created when you purchased the package or when you first registered with Kids at Work. If you need help with merging duplicate accounts please contact Kids at Work and we'd be happy to help!

Cleaning Practices

  • Every play object, instrument, toy, and art supply that comes into contact with childrens’ hands is deep cleaned and sanitized with "food surface safe" bleach solution after class. Fabric is handwashed after each class wherever possible, and other fabrics are laundered regularly.
  • The entry way, elevator, and stairwell are cleaned every day by the building super.
  • All floors inside Kids at Work are cleaned at the end of every class with soapy water.
  • All mats, furniture, chairs, tables, large motor objects, etc are wiped with soapy water and sprayed with child-safe sanitizer spray between classes.

Kids at Work Drop-in classes NEVER expire!

The only days Kids at Work is CLOSED throughout the year are Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Years Eve, New Years Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day. Students within our Preschool Prep program receive class credit if they need to miss class due to a religious observance of a holiday where we are not closed. Kids at Work is open Monday - Friday.

The Kids at Work Summer Camp is CLOSED on June 19 and July 4.

Yes! This is very easy to do on the Kids at Work Mobile App (available on Iphone or Android devices). If you are unable to download the app there is another way to make these reservations. Our reservations are powered by Mindbody. If you are interested in making recurring reservations you can do this here You can also simply email us at info@kidsatworknyc.com, text us or call us to make recurring reservations. REMEMBER, even with a recurring reservation you can still cancel up to one hour before class!

This depends on which classes you'd like to come to. "Babies" classes include all those classes with a minimum age of UNDER 12 mos. "Toddler" classes include all those classes with a minimum age of 12 months or OLDER. Some examples of babies classes are: Inch by Inch, Jam Sessions Babies, and Baby Fingers. Some examples of toddler classes are: Toddle Around, Mess it Up, Soccer Stars, and Ballet/Tap! If you're not sure which level of package to purchase please reach out. If you'd like to purchase a combination of babies and toddler classes, we can create a custom package for your child. Give us a call at 212-488-8800!
Classes may be cancelled up to one full hour before the start of the class. Class credits will be returned to your account to be used at a later class, not refunded. Cancellation after one hour prior to the start of the class will result in forfeiture of the class credit. Call 212-488-8800, email info@kidsatworknyc.com, or text 929-581-8234 to cancel.
Every outdoor class has a different rain policy, please see below:
  • SUN SESSION CLASSES (Madison Square Park): Sun Sessions outdoor music classes are CANCELED due to rain. Rain declaration is made by 8am the day of class and will not be changed after declaration is made. All families who are RESERVED for that particular day/time/location will be notified. If you are ever in doubt as to whether class is happening please be in touch by phone at 212-488-8800, text at 929-581-8234, or by emailing info@kidsatworknyc.com There is no rain location for Sun Sessions outdoor music. If you are reserved and we cancel class, the class will be returned to your family's account as unused and you can simply make a reservation for another date!

Sun Sessions classes do not expire, and may be used during subsequent summers. The monetary value can also be converted to a credit for use indoors. Please note that indoor classes are offered at a higher price point and a “class for class” transfer is not possible. Sun Sessions outdoor music purchases are NOT valid indoors on a “class for class” basis due to the higher pricing for indoor programming.

We rely on accompanying adults to monitor the health of their own children, and keep them home if they are sick. That said, persons will be required to stay home and/or may be sent home in the event any of the following symptoms are observed or felt within 24 hours before each attendance, without the use of medication. • Fever • Cough** • Shortness of breath • Chills • Night sweats • Sore throat • Muscle/body aches • Loss of taste or smell • Headache • Confusion • Vomiting • Diarrhea **Many children exhibit non-illness related dry cough and clear runny nose (such as with teething). We ask that all families maintain open communication about the history of such symptoms in their child. For instance, if your child has seasonal allergies OR has already been cleared by a pediatrician that the symptoms not related to a current illness, please let us know ahead of time. For drop-in classes, in the event a child is sent home sick, the class credit will be returned to the family's account for use another time.
It's easy to convert your leftover babies or Sun Sessions classes for use in other programming!  The cost to upgrade classes is generally as follows, but depends on the original price you paid:
  • Sun Sessions Outdoor Music to On-Site Babies classes - $10 per class
  • Sun Sessions Outdoor Music to Toddler classes - $14 per class
  • Babies classes to Toddler classes - $7 per class
We can run the above charge for you and send you a confirmation if you give us a call or email us with permission to charge the card on file.
Our schedule rarely changes. If we do change the day/time of a class we make sure all the "regulars" in the class know of the change. If you are making an advance reservation or series of reservations, you are more than welcome to reach out to us at info@kidsatworknyc.com to get a sense of whether or not we might be changing our schedule. Keep in mind that with the SAME package you can attend ANY class. We very rarely change the schedule and would only do so if enrollment were extremely low. In any case, feel free to reach out. You can also reach out should you wish to make longer term, "semester-long" recurring reservations, as well!
Some parks are bigger than others and finding the class in the park isn't always easy. That's why we have created the maps which show you exactly where to go. The maps may be found in the class description, on the class sign up page, in your receipt/reminder email, and below. Each map will have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice option of where the class will be depending on availability. In the case of Madison Square Park there is also an "A" and "B" location for if all the lawns are closed. If you ever have any trouble you can also give us a call at 212-488-8800 or text us at 929-581-8234.
No. A caregiver or parent must stay on site at all times while children are participating in programming at Kids at Work. Some classes such as soccer or dance can be "separated", with an adult waiting in our waiting area, rather than physically in the class. You may only separate from your child if your child is completely comfortable with separation, and is already in a school or day care program. Children under 2 may not separate in Kids at Work classes. Caregivers and parents cannot leave the facility while their children are at Kids at Work. Unsure or concerned about separation, or looking for a toddler/twos separation program? Check out our Preschool Prep Gentle Separation program for a safe, confident start. Anywhere you drop off your child for any amount of time MUST be licensed by the NYC Department of Health as an after school program, camp program, school or day care. Licensing is extremely complex and is a lengthy process, and there are many unlicensed programs. If you are considering dropping off your child anywhere you should call 311 and check for licensing, for your child's safety. Hosting drop off without a license is illegal in New York City.
Preschool Prep and Summer camp are "enrolled" programs, where families commit in advance for a semester or series of sessions. There are no make-ups, refunds, or transfers for missed days of Preschool Prep or Summer Camp. Please think of these programs as you would a "school" program. Please refer to the program pages for more information on changing your child's Preschool Prep or Camp schedule ahead of time.
