Helping Children and Families Through the Hospital Experience

The Child Life Program at Mount Sinai offers a full range of activities and services to make the hospital experience easier, more familiar and more comfortable for children and their families. Our staff of certified Child Life Specialists includes experts in early childhood education, special education, creative arts therapy and recreation therapy.

Through play, art, school and socializing with peers, these experts help children retain their creativity, self esteem and independence, and continue their normal development while in the hospital.

We invite you to learn more about the programs Mount Sinai offers. For more information, contact us: 212-241-6797.
