This place has everything you want in a neighborhood play space and activity center. Their play space is clean, colorful and laid-back. There is a lounge and eating area where you can drop your shoes before indulging in the toys and space.  In the back they have a classroom where they host birthday parties and their academic- inspired classes like history, math and drama.  Their in house teacher Andrea  has her masters in curriculum development and has taught for seven years, so you can be sure she knows how to handle a roomful of energized kids. I have seen her at work and the kids adore her spirited guidance.  In addition, NYC Explorers offers special weekly events: Wednesday Dropoff Childcare, Friday Night Date Night (you get the date, the kids get lots of fun), Sleep-in Saturdays and more.  In addition, they offer adult support groups, after-school pickup and a babysitting service  either at their place at your own.
