Most known for it’s fun and engaging pajama parties at the best play spaces in town, like Kidville and Playgarden, Project Playdate can be found every weekend in one of six neighborhoods including Tribeca, Union Square, Park Slope, Murray Hill, and on the Upper West and East Side. These playdates also showcase top nannies available for private care from companies like UrbanSitter and College Nannies & Tutors.

History

Established in 2009.

Project Playdate, started in 2009 by two undergraduate young women at NYU, raises money for Powerhouse NYC, an organization that seeks to help at-risk mothers by empowering them with economic stability. By donating its proceeds to such a cause, Project Playdate brings sustainability and innovation to the world of non-profits and social enterprise. This is all accomplished through a premier child care service and an unwavering committment to serve and connect families across the spectrum of need.

we’re staying in new york for a month and my husband and i decided that we wanted to have at least one date night during our trip. we looked on Unilocal and
, where we came across project playdate. making an online reservation was extremely easy and when i sent an e-mail, i received a response almost immediately. i was also impressed by the detailed itinerary that was e-mailed a day before the playdate. it was helpful for preparing our 3 year old son and getting him excited about all the fun activities he’d be doing. the playdate was held at kidville in union square which was the perfect location, walking distance between the apartment and the restaurant we planned to have dinner. the caregivers were welcoming. my son had no problem saying goodbye. an hour into our night, we received a text with a picture of our son playing! it totally made our night. when we picked him up, he received a small goodie bag and he was eager to tell us about his playdate. he said he enjoyed dancing and building with blocks. he also told us that he had pizza for dinner and that he ate all his food.
project playdate is a wonderful service. my husband and i were so grateful to have a night out and to know that our son was in good hands. now how do we get project playdate to come to california?!

Project Play date offers excellent child care and all proceeds go to charities that serve homeless families in New York. The volunteers are a mixture of New York college students and professional nannies, and the various settings are high-end indoor playgrounds with ball pits, and endless number of toys, and lots of group activities.

I really can’t say enough good things about this program. My son LOVES it. When we drop him off, he’s like, «yeah, see you, bye» and takes off to go play. The behavior incentives are great, and he always comes home with a lot of positive reinforcement for good behavior. There’s physical activity, arts and crafts, pizza and usually a decent movie (usually Disney). The customer service is also amazing — Amanda and Maura have been kind and responsive to every email. Oh, and a portion of the proceeds go to a charity that benefits women in need.
We’ve been to five play dates so far, on Groupons or other discount codes, and will be happy to pay full price moving forward. It’s the same price as a sitter, but with all the extra stuff that makes my five year old look forward to it each month. Thank you so much, Project Playdate team, for giving us a great option for an evening out each month !
