Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to register my child for full time?

No.  We are very flexible to your schedule.  We’ll accept one to five days in PlaySchool Express, Kids On 12th After School or camps.

 

Can I change my schedule once I register?

Yes.  We only ask that you give us as much notice as possible so we can adjust our staffing and pick up schedule accordingly.

You are expected to pay for the days which your child is registered for whether you use the service or not.  We are staffed and ready based on registration.  We do make exceptions for prescheduled vacations or prolonged illness.

 

Where can I park my car?

According to the Philadelphia Parking Authority you can leave your car in Camac Street (not blocking any other through streets) for 20 minutes with flashers on.  Do not pull onto the sidewalk.  There are also loading zones on 12th street, Locust Street and 13th Street that can be used.

  

What is the history of your company?

Philadelphia Kids Club was inspired through a combined effort of sisters Sharon and Judy Hershman.  Sharon Hershman, mother of 2 active boys went looking for Philadelphia indoor spaces offering classes and activities where boys could burn some energy.  Sadly, she found McDonald’s Playland.  She banded with her sister to open a safe and supportive place for kids to learn, play and be active and creative. 

Do you offer 'Mommy and Me' classes for babies and toddlers?

Not at this time.  Although we started the company offering these types of classes, we have grown to a more comprehensive activity and educational program.

Can I sign my baby up for swim classes?

In keeping with the policy of 12th Street Gym who are kind enough to allow the use of their pool facility, all children engaing in swim activities with us must be 3 years old and potty trained.
