Letter from the Executive Director
Hello friends!
I'm Caroline, Executive Director of Bitty City. When COVID-19 hit in March 2020, it turned a lot of great plans upside down, ours among them. As our programming moved out (of the classroom), I found myself looking inwards. I asked Olivia the Owl (there weren't a lot of folks around to talk to) - and my teachers and community, including many of you - about the core values of our work. I meditated on what is meaningful to us as educators and as human beings. And I wondered how to make some lemonade out of these pandemic lemons. Our answer, so far, is that we want to provide programming that is accessible. We want Bitty City to be a resource for young children of NYC and their families and teachers, especially those who have limited access to enrichment opportunities. So we are starting a nonprofit!

Our Nonprofit Board & Advisory Council are pretty awesome people (Big reveal coming soon!)

Bitty City Explorers will
- Offer reduced or waived tuition for our comprehensive (5 day a week) afterschool programs, providing necessary and meaningful care for working parents.
- Provide free or low-cost “in-school field trips”, especially our unique STEAM-based enrichment workshops supporting each of NYC’s PreK curriculum units
- Expand programming to new audiences, such as working with social service partners to provide small group arts classes designed to help young children process trauma.
- Partner with stakeholders in the community to provide public programs and events.
Education Enrichment & Equality
Bitty City Explorers partners with local schools and community organizations to provide resources for young students in underserved neighborhoods, facing the challenges of a post-pandemic world.
