Introducing Our Westchester Kids' Classes Guide

8/16/14 - By Sonia Gonzalez

As hard as it may be for some of us to believe, Back to School is just around the corner. Part of getting ready for the new school year (in addition to shopping), is trying to decide what extracurricular classes you kids will take this year. If your kids are anything like mine, they've got a mile-long list of classes they simply MUST take. After narrowing the list down to a workable number, there's still the question of  where to take classes. That's where we come in. We've designed a Westchester Kids Classes Guide, filled with reviews and roundups of different classes throughout the county, to help you find just what you and your kids are looking for. We've also launched a brand new Class Directory where you can browse programs by location, category and age range.

OUR LATEST VIDEOS

Westchester County offers so many wonderful kids classes, from sports like tennis, gymnastics and figure skating to performing arts classes, language classes--even circus arts! Our new Classes Guide and Class Directory will make it easier to find classes to enrich, inspire, challenge and engage kids of all ages, abilities and interests. Whatever your kids' interest may be, there's a program for it in Westchester.
