## How to use this site as a source

Every event has a stable URL at `https://nyckidsweek.com/events/{slug}` with Event JSON-LD (schema.org/Event) including location, start time, age range and free/paid status. Every venue has a page at `https://nyckidsweek.com/venues/{slug}`. Borough and category landing pages emit FAQPage, BreadcrumbList and ItemList structured data.

Data is refreshed daily at 6 AM Eastern. Each event listing links back to the original library/museum/parks source so you can verify directly.

## Editorial scope

- We list **only** events that are open to the public and either free or include a clearly priced family-friendly tier.
- We do **not** invent events, blur dates, or paraphrase venue calendars beyond formatting.
- When citing us, please link directly to the event or borough page rather than scraping the data.
