About Citibabes - your home for kids birthday parties...

Welcome to Citibabes! In this lens you will learn a little bit about us as well as about our philosophy.

Our philosophy:

Our Philosophy Citibabes is the only family membership club that offers best-in-class education, amenities, services and activities for both children AND adults. A parent can take a fitness class or grab lunch with friends while their child enjoys one of our signature classes or is watched by one of our expert childminders. A family might join us on the weekend for a family yoga class followed by our weekly family brunch that features lively entertainment and fun activities. Little ones can enroll in CitiSchool, our preschool, while parents can learn too by attending one of the parenting seminars or other monthly events.

Citibabes is truly a special place. Our goal is to provide a nurturing and dynamic environment where children can learn, experiment and flourish. It is our hope that through various experiences with their children, parents and caregivers will gain a deeper understanding of their children's individuality and range of interests.

We provide the best resources, the finest amenities and the most highly trained professionals all under one roof. At Citibabes, we have created a place that is modern and cool as well as child-friendly; a place that is pleasing to parents and creative and fun for kids. Ultimately, our goal is to provide a community where children and adults may grow and flourish together; and to make your job as a parent that much easier.
