We are excited to welcome families back to our parent-child program with group classes that support the healthy physical, social, and emotional development of young children.

Our Forest Seedlings classes meet at El Jardin del Paraiso, a beloved NYC GreenThumb garden which New Amsterdam has has a relationship with for the last 12 years. During the class, children can play with toys made from natural materials, and explore the garden environment with their teacher and caregivers.

Classes meet at El Jardin del Paraiso, located on 4th Street between Avenues C & D.
