Hi and welcome to Tiny Times NYC 💛! Tiny Times was born from my own experience as a parent wanting to make the most of every moment with my daughter. ​I found myself constantly searching for things to do, jumping between different websites, and struggling to find events that were actually appropriate for her age. It felt overwhelming, time-consuming, and honestly, unnecessary. I just wanted one place where I could easily discover great activities without the extra work. I also wanted a simple way to stay organized —something I could access on my phone, share with our nanny, and rely on for both planned outings and last-minute ideas. So I created Tiny Times NYC. Tiny Times is a centralized, curated calendar of toddler and children’s events across New York City. It brings together 💚 free and 💳 paid activities—like storytimes, classes, museum programs, performances, and more—into one place that you can easily add to your Google Calendar. You can toggle it on or off whenever you need and quickly find events that fit your schedule. But Tiny Times is more than just a calendar—it’s a growing community for parents and caregivers. I also created this platform to support and connect the incredible organizations, small businesses, and event organizers who make NYC such a vibrant place for children. If you host events for kids, I would love to feature you—please reach out and share your upcoming events so we can include them in the calendar. And if you’re a brand or business looking to support families in a meaningful way, we’d love to partner with you. Your support helps us continue growing Tiny Times and making it easier for thousands of parents across NYC to discover and enjoy child-friendly experiences. Thank you for being here and growing with us. With gratitude, Sanaz

Created from a very real need—and with the intention to support parents on the go in the city—as a parent who knows how time-consuming it can be to search across countless sites just to find something age-appropriate.
