The Ms. Rachel Experience: A One-of-a-Kind Birthday Party Add-On in NYC, Staten Island, and NJ
A live, educator led birthday party experience for the little ones who already love their favorite YouTube friend. Brought to you by Ms. Kaitlynn of Happy Day Play, a trusted family life educator and popular children's party entertainer
Your little one already knows every word. They light up the second she comes on the screen. Now imagine her stepping into their birthday party, live and in person. The Ms. Rachel Experience is the most loved add-on to our on-the-go birthday party package, brought to you by Ms. Kaitlynn, a trusted educator and party entertainer offering the most fun and popular birthday party experiences in the NYC metro area.
How the Ms. Rachel Experience Works
The Ms. Rachel Experience is offered as an add-on to our standard On-the-Go 1 Hour Birthday Party Entertainment Package. You book your party as you normally would, choose The Ms. Rachel Experience add-on, and we take care of the rest! Ms. Kaitlynn arrives in full character, ready to sing, dance, and make your little one feel like the star of their favorite show.
Base pricing for our Happiest Birthday Package with Ms. Rachel Experience add-on starts at $325 for up to 10 children (birthday child is always free and not included in the count).
What Makes Our Ms. Rachel Experience So Special
This is the kind of birthday party your guest will talk about long after the cake is gone. Every Ms. Rachel Experience we bring to life is thoughtfully designed to feel just as magical as the show your little one knows by heart. Here is what makes ours so loved by families in Staten Island, NYC, and NJ.
Live Singing, Not Lip Syncing
We fully embody the Ms. Rachel character - voice included - and would never simply show up in costume! Ms. Kaitlynn not only dresses up but is singing loudly and proudly the whole time, and she gets your little one singing right along with her.
Dancing and Movement Activities Inspired by the Videos
A lot of what we do is rooted in the movement and music from the songs your child already loves. Familiar songs, familiar moves, and the joy of seeing them come to life in the room.
Customized Details for Your Child
No two Ms. Rachel parties are the same. We customize even the tiniest details in entertainment to match what your child loves most, from their favorite song to their favorite character moment.
The Giant "What's in the Box"
We took inspiration from the smaller cloth box you see on screen and made it bigger for party entertainment. It always gets the children jumping up and shouting "Say open!" before the big reveal.
Birthday Storytime (Yes, in Ms. Rachel's Voice!)
Ms. Kaitlynn is a trained pre-literacy and early literacy specialist who uses proven techniques to keep little ones paying attention and interacting. The result is a calm, magical storytime moment in the middle of the party.
Photo Opportunities With the Birthday Child and Family
We build in time for photos with the birthday child, siblings, cousins, and the whole family so you walk away with keepsake moments to share.
A Portion of Every Booking Donated to UNICEF
With every Ms. Rachel Experience you book, a small portion of the proceeds is donated to UNICEF. It is our way of honoring the original Ms. Rachel's commitment to children's well-being around the world.
