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, 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 & New York City’s only eco-birthday venue, and The Play Lab is our early educational center, nature-inspired playspace, and home to The Nest, Brooklyn’s first bilingual separation program.
THE PLAY LAB
The Play Lab is our early educational center & low-stimulation playspace for children ages 0-7. A beloved neighborhood institution, The Play Lab is a valuable resource for young families to socialize, learn, and play. Unlike the typical arcade-style playspaces, our play-structures take their inspiration from
the natural world while our green toxin-free toys ensure little ones’ safety and our sensory-rich space continually challenges little bodies and minds as they grow. Our new bilingual
separation program, The Nest, will begin this fall.
PLAY KIDS
Play Kids is our award-winning after-school and birthday party venue for children ages 4–8, where STEAM learning takes center stage. Whether it’s our engaging STEM and Art classes, dynamic Sports and Language programs, immersive Day Camps, Sustainable Birthday Parties, or relaxing drop-off Movie Nights. Our philosophy is rooted in Montessori-inspired, hands-on experiential learning and play, with a special emphasis on STEAM activities that spark curiosity and foster critical thinking. With over ten years of collaboration with our local Brooklyn community, Play Kids has become a hallmark of excellence in out-of-school STEAM education, inspiring young minds to explore, learn, and grow.
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.
