New York City Explorers

This child-care center aims to give children a "3-D learning experience," including instruction in both the arts and academics. Drop the little ones off or stay and play at events like Story Time, Family Game Time, and Rollerskate and Bike Night. A summer camp brings older kids to such NYC hotspots as the Statue of Liberty, the Bronx Zoo and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, while younger tots enjoy arts and crafts, puzzles, science lessons and more.
