Play and More! Classes at Happy Day Play

Welcome to Happy Day Play, where our Play and More! classes redefine early childhood learning and family bonding across Staten Island, the greater NYC area, and Northern New Jersey. Here's how we nurture holistic development, foster family connections, and provide unique experiences tailored for babies, toddlers, and families:

  • Holistic Development: Our classes offer a holistic experience tailored to your child's comprehensive growth and supporting you as a parent or caregiver with any developmental questions you have. We emphasize refining gross motor skills and provide targeted activities aligned with their current developmental stage, all while integrating family dynamics into every session.

  • Family-Based Themes: Each class is centered around effective family-based themes that encourage child-led exploration and learning. These themes are designed to foster creativity and enhance cognitive development in a supportive environment.

  • Unique Experiences: Enjoy unique experiences that spark curiosity and growth in our specially designed spaces. Our environment is equipped with brand-new, safe equipment that supports physical milestones and cognitive leaps.

  • Family Open Play Activities: Enjoy quality time together in our inclusive family activities, where everyone can join in the fun. Our programs feature engaging themes that promote collaboration and communication among family members, creating lasting memories.

Join Happy Day Play's Play and More! classes for a journey filled with laughter, exploration, and unparalleled growth. Elevate your family’s experience with us, where play becomes a powerful catalyst for lifelong memories and learning.
