Juliette and Ella's Playdate | Manhattan, NY

I recently had Sara and Aria at my son's first birthday party. He has been taking classes at Juliette and Ella's Playdate for about 6 months now. He LOVES the classes so I knew we needed to have them at his party! It was a total and complete success! Sara and Aria were super professional and energetic the entire time. They were kind to everyone and clearly love what they do! I couldn't recommend them enough!

"Juliette & Ella's Playdate" is an absolutely fantastic music class for children, and it's evident from my child's enthusiastic participation. She's been attending these classes since she was just 3 months old, and it's been an incredible journey to witness her love for them grow. One of the standout features of these classes is their comprehensive approach to early childhood education. Not only do they incorporate music, but they also teach American Sign Language (ASL) and even introduce counting in different languages like French and Spanish. This diversity in content is a great way to stimulate young minds and introduce them to various cultures. The song selection is another aspect that makes Juliette & Ella's Playdate exceptional. They cover a wide range of music genres, from oldies like "Lollipop" to classic children's songs like "Bingo" and "The Itsy Bitsy Spider," and even modern pop hits by artists like Taylor Swift. This variety ensures that every child can find something to enjoy and sing along to. The teachers at this program are truly remarkable. They are not only professionals in the fields of singing and dancing but also have an incredibly nurturing and loving attitude towards the children. This combination of talent and care makes for an enriching and enjoyable learning environment. I must also commend Sarah, the co-owner of Juliette & Ella's Playdate. She's a wonderful person who has managed to create a supportive and flexible program. This flexibility is evident in their accommodating approach to rain dates and missed classes, which has been hugely helpful to me as a new mother. Another unique aspect of these classes is the outdoor sessions in the park during the spring and summer months. These sessions are a true delight as they allow children to enjoy fresh air, nature, and music simultaneously. Additionally, the introduction of indoor classes at the LSP Ninja studio on 79th Street and Ballet Academy East offer a great alternative during the colder months. What impresses me the most is the impact these classes have had on my daughter. Not only does she have an incredible amount of fun during these sessions, but I've also learned how to engage with her through play at home. It's a wonderful bonding experience, and I credit Juliette & Ella's Playdate for fostering this connection. Juliette & Ella's Playdate is a remarkable program that goes above and beyond in nurturing young children's love for music and learning. With excellent teachers, diverse content, flexible scheduling, and a genuine love for what they do, this class is an invaluable resource for both children and parents alike. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to provide their child with a rich and engaging early childhood education.

My son loved attending Juliette and Ella on a weekly basis from when he was an infant until almost 2 years old. We are so grateful for the fun this added to his week, both for him and whatever caregiver was bringing him that day. They have excellent customer service, making it really easy to reschedule classes if your child is sick or you're traveling. The teachers are so sweet and knew my son by name. I would recommend J&E wholeheartedly!

Our class with Joy and Madison has been so special. They really know the children in their classes and they are babies so that is not always so easy to figure out! They are so loving and sweet to everyone. We love going to the class!
