Location

The Jewish Center

131 W 86th St, NY, NY

10th Floor, The Blue Room

To the left of the main entrance on 86th st, there is an automatic door and ramp for strollers.

This is the easiest way to get in. Please leave strollers in the lobby unless you have 2 children that are not able to walk yet, in which case you may bring your stroller to the 10th floor.

When you get to the 10th floor go straight out of the elevator towards the bathrooms. Before you get to the bathrooms you will see a BIG room on your left that has wall to wall carpet. Class will be in there.

-The class has AC units and windows that we can crack open.

Classroom Etiquette:

-Please do not bring toys to class (unless you want to bring your own shakers or bells, but please no little guitars or other toys as they cause distractions)

If your child REALLY needs to bring a "lovey" for comfort that is ok, but please be advised if it causes a distraction it will have to be put away, which can often be harder for kids than just leaving it at home or in the stroller in the first place. However, usually when a child really needs a lovey the other kids get it, lol.

-Shoes off inside please

-Music should be social, but please talk quietly if talking with friends, so the kids can hear the music properly.

-No solid food or pouches as it is distracting for other kids and also could make a mess.

-Bottles/nursing/ and non-staining drinks are fine for your kids though :)

-For parents drinking coffee, smoothies, etc please make sure you always put your drinks in a safe place or in a spill safe container. We don't want to ruin any rugs! Lol

___________________________

What to Bring!

-If you have a young infant who is not sitting up yet on their own or is still spitting up,

please bring a thin blanket for them to roll around on and to protect the rug from spit up (lol).

We will supply instruments for kids to jam on in class! (which we clean after each class).
Please do not bring other Toys to class unless you really want to bring your shakers, Bells, Drums etc.

And DO buy yourself some instruments so your kids can jam at home too!

See our recommended instruments here
