Tinkergarten Manhattan

About

Tinkergarten runs play-based outdoor classes in NYC parks for kids ages 1-8. The Manhattan classes happen in Central Park, Riverside Park, and other neighborhood parks, led by trained local leaders who facilitate guided outdoor play. Classes emphasize creativity, empathy, and problem-solving rather than structured curriculum. Sessions are 1-hour weekly meetups, with parents/caregivers expected to participate. National program with consistent curriculum across cities. Classes typically run in 8-week sessions during spring and fall. Outdoor regardless of weather (within reason), so dress for conditions.
