FAQS for School Pick Up: We currently offer pick up from PS 340 and PS 41. If your school is within walking distance to Genius Gems NYC, please email us to request school pick up, and please copy the person who coordinates after school programs at your school to see if we can add another school to our pick up schedule. 

What is the schedule for school pickup? What do kids do at Genius Gems?

Students with school pick ups are picked up by a staff member, and brought directly to Genius Gems. They may purchase a snack in our cafe, or bring their own. Following snack break, students will have time to build marbleshoots, code robots, and build with magnetic tiles / earn tokens before or after their class time. This is supervised. If the class is at 3:30, students will have playtime afterwards until 5:30 pm. If the class is at 4:30, most of the supervised play time will be before the class begins. 

Can I do the 2.5 hour time if I don't need school pick up?

Yes, as long as you sign up for the 2.5 hour time ($55/weekly class), you are welcome to take the class and stay until 5:30 PM. Students that sign up for just the 45 minute class ($40/weekly class) must be picked up promptly at the end of the 45 minute class, or they may be charged additional fees. 

What if my child is absent from school or goes home early?

Please email information@geniusgems.com and let us know in advance. 

Can I schedule a make up class if I'm traveling? 

Yes, you can schedule up to one make-up class per session. 

Can I sign up for more than one class? 

Yes, you can sign up for more than one weekly class, or you can sign up for back to back classes. 

Do you pick up from schools other than PS 340 or PS 41? We are open to other school pick ups in close proximity to Genius Gems, but please email us to coordinate with the school. 

What if I have additional questions? 

Please email us at information@geniusgems.com and someone will reply within 2-3 days of your inquiry.
