FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does PLAY Kids have a dress code or policy?

Express yourself! Colors, patterns - bring it on! Kids are NEVER too young to start styling! PLAY welcomes all tiny fashionistas. As long as a child wears weather appropriate clothing they can freely move it, is clean, any language and images that are positive and age appropriate, and fabrics not so fine to require extra care or cautiousness - we’re good to go and get PLAYful. The open PLAY space is a shoe free/sock mandatory zone. There are secure cubbies for footwear and socks for purchase as needed. (Summertime sandals? Just pack an extra pair of socks for the day - your toes will thank us!)

Does PLAY provide snacks or can I pack one for my child?

100% Let’s chow down! Parents choice Brown bag family treats are super - PLAY offers refrigeration, as well as reheating options. Don’t let those leftovers go to waste! Busy morning? No time to pack? No worries! PLAY Kids presents two fun and health snack time selections:

1. Simple snack sampler: 1 drink (punch, water or juice); a yummy fruit; bag-of-child’s-choice munchie (chips or goldfish) for $3.50 per child and snack per day
2. Organic a la Carte: 1 drink (punch, water or juice); a yummy fruit, veggies and hummus, plus the choice of either goldfish, veggie pita chips, granola bar, or pretzels for $5.00 per child and snack per day

What ages is PLAY best for?

The open/drop in PLAY space is open to children of all ages - up to age 8. Babies under 6 months with their older siblings are free. PLAY Kids after school program is for those between the ages of 4 - 8. The majority of toys and recreational features of PLAY are suitable for older toddlers, but aimed to stimulate the diverse PLAY desires of older kids too often neglected by other baby-fied or preteen arcade-like kiddie venues.

Does PLAY maintain a Lost and Found? How does that work?

PLAY is not liable for personal property. However, misplacing or forgetting a treasured item happens to us all. (Big and little kids alike!) Heeding that universal truth, PLAY Kids does have a small and casual ‘lost and found’. Whatever lives there is either disposed of or donated at the close of each semester or sooner should there be an overflow. Missing a glove? Toy? Sippy? Snack container? Book? Ask the front desk staff - we’ll cross our collective fingers and root around in hopes of facilitating a L&F reunion..

What schools do you pick up from?

PLAY Kids staff collects students from: PS 31, PS 110, PS 132, & PS 34 at 2:30 PM each afternoon. School pick is an option parents can choose upon registration for an additional $10 per day.

Will my child be walking or taking mass transit?

Brooklyn is for walking! All our pick up locations are a quick trot from PLAY Kids. Educators and PLAY staff meet and escort student by foot to PLAY each afternoon. As with all we do - we PLAY it safe. Walking together as a group is an excellent opportunity to reinforce street safety skills such as paying attention, being mindful of other pedestrians, patiently waiting for others, and vigilant crosswalk crossing.

What about the weather? Rain, snow, sleet, and temperature extremes - how does that affect pickups and outside PLAY?

Weather can’t dampen our PLAY day! However, it is essential that parents properly prepare students for weather conditions and seasonal changes. Staff will do all they can to make sure the trip is pleasant. However, we do ask parents to prepare their child’s clothing and gear (umbrella, footwear, etc) in coordination with the daily forecast. Outdoor playtime is reserved for warmer, drier days. Other afternoons we laugh and sing indoors, regardless of the precipitation or troubling thermostat readings.

Help! I am running late? What happens now?

No sweat! PLAY Kids after school program and open play ends at 6 PM. To accommodate busy and unpredictable life and work schedules (we get it - we are parents too!), PLAY offers late pickup until 7 PM for an additional $15. Late Pick up can be arranged on an as-needed basis within 24 hours notice please. Late night pick up is to be paid at the time the parent arrives, or in advance.
