Your wish is our command!

Saturday's Annual Valentine's Day Family Party was a great success, thanks in no small part to the fact that Vino and Rachel, a who's who of NY City Explorers all-stars, were on hand to crank up the fun with crafts, singalongs and stories! This year's contests, a drawing for a 2-hour drop-off sitting session at NY City Explorers' 186 Underhill Ave location, and a yummy guessing game that sent its winner home with a jar full of chocolate Kisses, were met with enthusiastic participation. Next year's sure fire add-on? An all out contest for Best Dressed! From Kiera's rocking red frock to Shelton's Sunday best Mary Janes, the ladies and gents in attendance didn't miss the chance to dress to impress. Even Amy's 5-month-old daughter Olive was decked out with a pretty pink heart patch on the pants that covered her itty bitty booty!
While the drawings were a hit with the adults, little ones like Danika and Tai put in serious time at the craft tables set up throughout the playspace. Olive may not have the hand-eye coordination to craft her mama a homemade Valentine like Shelton and Kori did, but Amy and husband Bryan still didn't leave empty-handed. Four-years-old Haven and pal Danika each made sure that the new family went home with something special: ;ots of glitter and lace from Haven, and, in an act of strangelove, a paper heart with a picture of an intestine glued onto it from Danika!
We've had so many of our own wishes fulfilled since last Valentine's Day: Our first Breakfast with Santa was a great success; Explorers Academy Preschool is growing and thriving; and Kisha found out that her own family will be expanding very soon! We feel so much love from the families whose patronage has helped our dreams come true that we feel inspired to grant some wishes ourselves...
In the spirit of love, fun and whimsy we are excited to invite you to Explore the possibilities with NY City Explorers' Weekly Wish! School closed for the week? Then your wish may be a week's worth of arts and crafts will appear at your door to keep your little one entertained. Young-at-heart wife have a birthday coming up? We may grant your wish of 2 dozen balloons to pick up on your way home from work! If you can dream it and we can do it, we just might grant it!
