Child's Play NY

The Child's Play NY team helped to make our daughter's 5th birthday party a magical experience for her. The team was so easy to work with, patient with all of our questions, creative, kind, and collaborative. The teachers that led the party were so special and talented. We would highly recommend them not only for birthday parties but anyone interested in pulling together a class for their children's organization or a private event for children.

My daughter has done multiple Child's Play NY activities over the years (after school program at her school, 2 birthday parties, 2 musicals, and one week of summer camp). All off them have been incredible. When I initially signed her up for Child's Play I had no idea how much emotional growth could happen in an after school program. But when I have run lines with her, the way she says things like "Mom!! You wouldn't say it like that if you were sad!!" Has shown me how much the directors/teachers help the kids get to know their own "internal words" and those of the character they are portraying. And the performances are always a blast!! The kids are so proud of their work!!

Child's Play put together the most thoughtful, joyful and FUN birthday party theater games for our 9 year old's birthday. They took all of our kid's favorite movies, songs and games and made a magical event. We are so happy that we worked with them! Child's Play is the best.

My 8 year old son had an amazing experience at the week-long Child's Play summer camp. He has been shy or nervous at other camps, but from the first day he was at ease and excited at Child's Play. He felt supported, challenged, and invigorated by the work the group did together. The minute he came off stage at the end of the week performance, he said, "Sign me up for next summer!"

Our daughter LOVED her camp experience. She was engaged the entire time. The instructors really loved what they were doing and got to know the kids. I highly recommend this camp to those interested in exploring acting/theater. It is fun, celebratory, inclusive, and stimulating - all at the same time. Top notch
