Hi Alef Bet Families,

We’re excited to offer an afterschool option for you and your child as an exclusive partnership with the Alef Bet Preschool.

On Mondays, our staff will safely escort children from Alef Bet to our new Zing! Upper East Side Studio on the corner of 90th & 1st Avenue. Upon arrival, children will enjoy supervised snack & open play until the 3:30PM Zing! Fit Class begins. Class ends at 4:15PM and you can pick up your child from Zing! between 4:15-4:25PM.

All details can be found on this page. Question? Email hello@zing-kids.com.

Partnership FAQs

  • Do I need to sign up for the Zing!-provided pick up or can I bring my child to the class myself or with a caregiver? You do not need to sign up for the whole afternoon. When you go to register, you will sign up for the class (you can bring your child a few minutes before the start time). If you want to add pick-up, you can add that as an option.

  • Do I need to provide snacks for my child? We are happy to provide some snacks between school and camp, but you are more than welcome (and encouraged!) to pack a nut-free snack for your child to enjoy before the activity begins. Please email us any dietary guidelines, restrictions or allergies before the semester begins.

  • How will you my kids get to Zing! safely?

    • We will have a 1:3 adult to child ratio for walking kids to the studio. We will practice in advance and we use a rope to walk with the kids safely so that they understand the safety rules of walking to the studio. In the beginning, we’ll have an extra set of hands to ensure maximum safety. We will text every parent when the kids get to the studio safely every single week.

    • In the studio, there will always be a 1:5 ratio for classes and activities

    • If you opt to do the transportation from Alef Bet, we ask that children do not leave their strollers at school on Mondays. This will make transportation to Zing! much easier. That said, if this isn’t an option for you, please email us and we’ll arrange a pick-up from Alef Bet in advance.

  • What does my child need to wear? Anything that they can be active in! We ask that kids wear grippy socks for class.

  • Do I need to sign-up for the whole semester? For the Monday program, yes. We require that you fully commit in advance as this allows us to properly prepare and staff a safe and strong afterschool experience. That said, if there’s a day you can’t make (kids get sick, etc.), we’ll happily welcome you into a makeup class on another day by adhering to our policies.

  • What will my child learn and do in the Zing! Fit class? You can see a class breakdown in the class registration page. Simply put: our classes are FUN FITNESS FOR KIDS. We’ll warm-up, we’ll teach them functional ways to feel like rockstars, we’ll test out their skills through series of obstacle courses and wrap up with a dance party and stretch. Your child will feel amaZING!

  • Do you have drop-in options? If you are unable to join the Monday program, we have select drop-in classes, mini camps (when school is closed) and other happenings during the week and weekdays. You are more than welcome to check out our schedule and use code “ALEFBET10” at checkout for 10% off drop-in classes.

  • Is the class JUST Alef Bet students? No. The pick-up from school and hang out after class IS exclusive to Alef Bet as a neighbor to us and because our owner sends her kid to Alef Bet :) The 45 minute class will be mixed with other children from the neighborhood. That said, classes are capped at 10 children, so this will be limited and all of the kids will be able to bond & connect. This all said, we DO host pod-classes and we would love to host a private class for Alef Bet students on another day or Sunday afternoon. You can email michele@zing-kids.com to set up a pod class.
