Gracious Partners
Project Playdate would not be possible without the help of its collaborative partners. We cannot thank them enough for their generosity and support.
Playspaces
Since 2009, Project Playdate has been graciously hosted by Playgarden at 95 Franklin Street. Playgarden is built GREEN with recycled playground equipment, organic products, natural light and the planet in mind.

At the beginning of 2012 Kidville partnered with Project Playdate. With Kidville on board, Project Playdate was able to grow 3X its size in one year! And it doesn’t stop there. 2013 means more sites, more playdate and more fun for the whole family! We couldn’t be more grateful to Kidville for giving us this opportunity.

The Project Playdate Affiliate Program
The Project Playdate Affiliate Program is a new addition to our traditional evening childcare service. In this program, our playdates are operated by a separate company guided and influenced by our technique. For our customers, this creates trust that all of the events directly offered by Project Playdate are consistent in structure and operations. For our Affiliate Partners, this creates opportunity to develop and deliver an evening or alternative child care service under their own brand with the consultancy and approval of Project Playdate. Customers can expect these events to run as professionally as those directly operated by Project Playdate with the unique touch and custom spaces or services of our fantastic Affiliate Partners.
To learn more about or sign up with these partners, you can visit their websites at:
The Watch Me Grow playspace is unique in its ample supply of educational, sensory and imaginative toys available for your children. This space is also our only partner with an indoor Bounce House! These events are open to all children ages 2-6 and can particularly accomodate children who might benefit from socialization, language, and motor development. By day, Watch Me Grow is a pediatric therapy center located in Gramercy. By night, our pajama parties excel in this fun, energetic and caring environment.
