Editor’s Note Welcome to our Family Summer Guide 2026! As another school year comes to an end, summer stretches out before us filled with possibilities. Whether you’re planning exciting adventures, searching for enriching activities, preparing a little one for preschool, or simply looking for ways to make the most of the months ahead, we hope this guide becomes a valuable resource for your family. Summer in New York City is truly special. From outdoor festivals and cultural celebrations to waterfront adventures, playground discoveries, and neighborhood events, there is always something happening. At the same time, many families are already beginning to think ahead to September, exploring educational opportunities and making plans for the new school year.
In this issue, you’ll find inspiration for summer days in the city, family-friendly events, practical parenting features, and helpful resources to keep children engaged, active, and learning throughout the season. We’re also delighted to feature our Summer Camp Directory and our Preschool & Montessori Directory, showcasing some of the wonderful programs and schools serving NYC families. As always, thank you for being part of the New York Loves Kids community. Whether you’re spending the summer exploring every corner of the city or simply enjoying a slower pace with family and friends, I hope you find plenty of ideas and inspiration within these pages. Wishing you a fun, memorable, and sunshine-filled summer! Laurie Mackie, CEO, New York Loves Kids
