Who We Are
Welcome to Play Greenpoint, where every child is free to be a child. Our centers and eco-birthday venues aren’t just spaces to play - it’s a vibrant STEAM hub where curiosity meets creativity. Here, children explore, learn, and express themselves through Montessori-inspired, hands-on activities that emphasize STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Coding, Arts, and Mathematics). Play Greenpoint features two distinct spaces covering the needs of children from birth to 8 years old: Play Kids is our award winning afterschool center, and Play Kids & The Play Lab are New York City’s only eco-birthday venues.
PLAY KIDS
Play Kids is our award-winning after-school and birthday party venue for children ages 4–8, where STEAM learning is the heart of everything we do. Each year, we design innovative new classes—ranging from Art & Clay Studio and French Language & Culture (with art, history, and even soccer!) to Coding, Engineering, and Science and Sports—that give children fresh opportunities to explore, create, and grow.
​
Our offerings include engaging STEM and Art programs, dynamic Sports and Language classes, immersive Day Camps, Sustainable Birthday Parties, and even cozy drop-off Movie Nights.
​
Every experience is built on our Montessori-inspired, hands-on philosophy, where learning happens through play, discovery, and creativity.
​
With a decade of collaboration alongside our Brooklyn community, Play Kids has become a trusted hub for out-of-school STEAM education—a place where curiosity is sparked, critical thinking is nurtured, and children develop the skills and confidence to thrive.
OUR MISSION
Play Greenpoint's mission is to provide a safe, creative,
and earth-friendly learning environment for all children.
Founded by local mom & educator, Magda Lahliti,
the pioneer of low-stimulation play spaces,
we collaborate with our Brooklyn community, working together
to serve the needs of local families and beyond.
COMMUNITY
Our goal is to be an essential and supportive hub for families, offering a diverse array of programs under one eco-friendly roof including STEM, art, sports, language classes, and free community events. At Play Greenpoint, we understand the value of mind-body learning, connection with our earth, and the importance of Play. We're committed to nurturing tomorrow's creative, kind, and independent thinkers today.
