Each session weaves circle time, language activities, songs, movement, and hands-on crafts into a warm, predictable routine that helps children develop listening skills, group confidence, and early independence.

The Wigglers

The Wigglers is built around music, movement, and the kind of play that makes toddlers light up. Each session brings scarves, parachutes, instruments, and rhythm activities into a joyful, high-energy environment, followed by free play where children set the pace. It’s the perfect weekly playdate for toddlers in Manhattan, with the added benefit of a consistent group, a familiar space, and teachers who know your child.

Explorers
Tuesday, Thursday
Explorers takes toddlers outside first — to the park, the Central Park Zoo, and the natural world just beyond our door. Nature-based learning is at the heart of every session, giving children the chance to move their bodies, observe the world around them, and connect with each other in open space. Back in the classroom, free play and circle time round out the morning. Each session is rooted in curiosity, fresh air, and the kind of learning that happens when you let toddlers lead.
