116Kids

After-school hours often stretch parents between work and home. 116Kids offers a structured option on the east side of Manhattan, where kids can extend the day with activities beyond the classroom. The program operates from a building at 210 E 33rd St New York, NY 10016, a block that sees steady foot traffic from nearby schools and apartment towers.

Programming typically includes homework help, creative arts, and light sports—enough variety to keep different ages engaged. Staff design sessions to complement the school calendar, so pickup times align with common dismissal schedules. Families in Murray Hill and Kips Bay have come to rely on the routine, especially when afternoons would otherwise be spent at home without supervision.

Space is limited, so slots tend to fill quickly once the academic year begins. Anyone considering enrollment can call +1 212-685-4366 to ask about availability. A map with directions can be found here.
