About this event

KIN Nest 2: Music & Move Ages 8–18 months | 45 minutes KIN Nest 2 is an active music-and-movement experience created for crawlers, cruisers, and emerging walkers. Class begins in the KIN Soundgarden, where children explore early childhood songs, live music, instruments, scarves, dance ribbons, tunnels, gentle ramps, bungee cords, and sensory materials. Repetition, rhythm, movement, and responsive language help strengthen listening, communication, coordination, and early learning. Children then take a big step down into our spectacular Sky Room—a bright, 1,200-square-foot KIN Move space illuminated by a giant skylight. With wide-open areas for crawling, rolling, cruising, and walking, children have the freedom to move their entire bodies. Age-appropriate mats, inclines, declines, large tunnels, slides, climbers, rockers, soft equipment, and introductory obstacle courses encourage balance, strength, spatial awareness, confidence, and independent exploration. Each class also includes parachute games, bubbles and sensory exploration before everyone reconnects for a familiar goodbye song. Throughout the experience, KIN’s loving adults—family members, caregivers, and trusted educators—stay close, sing, model movements, offer reassurance, and celebrate each child’s discoveries. Together, we create a secure community in which children feel confident moving, learning, communicating, and connecting with others

KIN THINK — Pathway 1 (Drop in)

KIN by Perry School · West Village

KIN THINK is a developmentally grounded cognitive enrichment class that strengthens early language, mathematical intuition, and reasoning skills through playful, hands-on discovery. We emphasize whole-word literacy (focusing on real words in context rather than phonics drills) and build a rich quantitative sense—letting children internalize what “three,” “five,” or “many” feel like before introducing symbols. Through carefully crafted puzzles, block-building structures, interlocking materials, and pattern work, children stretch their critical thinking and spatial reasoning. Our knowledge modules rotate through high-impact domains—2D & 3D shapes, textures & materials, animal classifications, and simple( physical science concepts—to expand vocabulary and conceptual frameworks. Each session interweaves books, songs, and scaffolded challenges in short, focused bursts that align with brain-development research, helping toddlers build neural foundations for deeper thinking and confident verbal expression.
