Kid’s Space runs from school dismissal time until 6:30PM. Parents are welcome to pick their child up any time before 6:30PM.

Pickup after 6:30 will be subject to additional fee of $20 every half hour starting at 6:35 pm.

Kid’s Space typically offers Sports, Art, Baking, STEAM, Dance, Swim and many more. If a participant is taking any other classes at the Riverdale Y during program time, we will be able to drop them off and pick them up once the class is over.

When children are not in enrichment activities, they have the opportunity to complete homework with NYC Public School teachers as well as the assistance from our counselors.

Kid’s Space at the Y picks up from:

• • PS24

• • PS81

• • Horace Mann

• • Kinneret Day School

• • PEARLS Hawthorne

If your child is in a school not listed, please contact Sam for more information

Kid’s Space at 24 is only open to students at PS24

Stay tuned for off-dates for Kid’s Space 2026/27

Yes! Single-day school vacation day programs will be heavily discounted for all Kid’s Space participants. We will be running school vacation day programs on all NYC public school days off. The hours of this program will be 8:00-6:00.

Please refer to the Kid’s Space Calendar for dates Riverdale Y is closed and Kid’s Space is not in session.

Each of our classes is grouped by grade so children will always be with other similar aged peers. While the ratio of staff to children is legally 1:10, we maintain stricter ratios within Kid’s Space to ensure the safety of all children.

Bus from school to Riverdale Y is the primary reason that Kid’s Space at the Y has a higher cost. We also offer swim as an optional enrichment activity.
