My son is in his second year at the Weekday School. He has really blossomed at the school, and the…read moreWeekday community has grown to be a big part of all of our lives. The kids have lots of time for play, both in the sunny classrooms with views of the river, and in their two outdoor playgrounds and indoor gym. Although the school is play-based, they also do a lot of learning through play! I've been amazed at how my son's writing ability has grown this year. The specials (library, art, music, and dance) are also a real highlight of the Weekday School. My son has been bringing home amazing art projects, and showing us the songs and dances that he learned at school. Most importantly, the teachers are so experienced and caring. They really get to know each child as an individual, and my son has bonded very strongly with his teachers. Ms. Daina, the director, is incredibly warm, dedicated, and accessible. She knows all the children, is involved on a day-to-day level, and provides a lot of guidance for the kindergarten application process. We have had a wonderful experience with the Weekday School. It is a magical place for children!

I feel very grateful to have found The Weekday School, and I would recommend it highly, without hesitation, to anyone looking for an early child-hood school. In my opinion, it is one of the very best in the city.

This review only relates to the pool. Actually, this review would be a 3.5…read more I came here for the open lap swim, which is from 7 am to 8:30 am, and I will say that the pool was not that bad. The pool was divided into specific areas for fast, medium, and slow swim speeds. Also, there is another section for people who want to do other activities like water aerobics. The other swimmers seemed to be aware of their swim speed and assigned themselves accordingly. Be aware that no one under the age of 18 (even with an adult) is allowed in the pool during these hours. Upon arriving the "security guard" who sits on the deck was super intense. He yelled at me for having my phone and book bag on the deck. Here's the thing. For this swimming program, I needed to show the program's coordinator/supervisor that I registered for the program. One can either print the confirmation form or show the supervisor your phone. I tried to explain this to the "security guard", but he seemed to be too drunk on power. Other than that, I had a nice swim. The locker room is pretty barebones, but it does have plenty of lockers where you can store things.

My friends and I came here for the batting cage. We made reservations ahead of time online and it…read moreas about $65 for 2 ppl for 30min. Kind of steep but the cage is all yours with unlimited balls. You can also not reserve and walk in and see if there are free cages. If you do the walk in then you can buy tokens which I think are about $3 for 10 pitches. I recommend doing the reservations so you don't have to worry about finding an empty cage. You can bring your own helmet, gloves, and bat or they have helmets and bats on site for you to borrow for free. There are 4 cages and they each have different ball speeds. We rented cage 1 which was the fastest one- (there are two modes; softball and baseball for each of the cages). I would recommend doing softball and working your way to baseball once you are comfortable. There are also other activities in the chelsea piers space such as the driving range, bowling, etc. So if you're done batting and want to do something else, there are plenty of choices.

My friends and I visited the batting cages at Chelsea Piers on a Saturday afternoon. It was my…read morefirst time ever at a batting cage, but instructions were easy to follow and I had fun! You can buy tokens at the front desk - it's $3 per token, and a token will give you ten pitches. There are four cages total, including ones that pitches faster balls. All but one cage for lefties were occupied at first. While righties had to wait a while, as a lefty I was able to start batting right away. You can choose either baseball or softball for each cage. Softball is thrown at slower speed than baseball. I started with softball and it was nice that I got used to getting balls thrown at me at slower speeds, then try baseball. It was difficult to switch between baseball and softball because I had to adjust my reaction time significantly. But the more I bat, the more I want to do better and spend more time. Yet the cost adds up quickly so we were counting the pitches closely to that we don't spend too much (actually, it was more like my friends were paying attention). If you don't feel like spending much for batting, you might as well buy a glove, a bat, and a ball, get some friends and pitch outside.

My nephew's maternal grandmother found this program and thought it would be a great opportunity for him just before school starts back in September 2026. Unfortunately, by the third day, it had already turned into a completely bad experience. There were only five kids in total, and my nephew was the oldest. Despite being 13 and physically big, he's not a street kid or aggressive, but this grown man seemed to have serious anger issues and appeared to enjoy picking on the kids. According to my nephew, they were doing drills when he started throwing his ball along with the other kids. Suddenly, this man began screaming at him and told him to sit on the sidelines. My nephew asked why, especially since his aunt had paid for him to be there, and explained he didn't know throwing the ball was wrong because the other kids were doing the same. Yet, the man continued yelling aggressively. Then, in a challenging and threatening tone, he told my nephew to throw the ball again as if expecting him to fail or do something "wrong." When my nephew complied, the man quickly approached him, puffing up his chest and nearly touching him, yelling even more. My nephew asked him if he was looking to fight. Later during the lunch break, the man called my nephew's grandmother, lying that my nephew had tried to fight him. Here is my concern: if a child did something you didn't want, there is a respectful way to address it without making them feel attacked. As the adult, your role is to teach and mentor the children, not to yell and scream at them. Parents and relatives pay for these programs with the expectation that kids will learn and have fun, not be subjected to intimidation and aggression. And then to escalate matters by calling the parents with false accusations? That shows a complete lack of integrity. We all have misunderstandings, but asserting authority through yelling, talking down to kids as if they're not human, or acting aggressively is not correct or acceptable. All the kids are talking about how terrible this program is and how this man constantly yells at them. Before you rate this program positively, please talk to your kids about their actual experience. No child is perfect and children's behavior can be uncontrollable at times, but it's the adults' responsibility to communicate respectfully with parents, not act aggressively as though they are challenging another adult. Maybe this is why only four kids remain enrolled. Parents and guardians, please do your due diligence. Unfortunately, this kind of unprofessional, disrespectful behavior is something we only see among certain adults in underserved Black and Brown communities.
