It's the first full week of April and finally starting to feel like spring! If you're ready to get out and enjoy the warmer weather, a FREE Babes in the Woods Hike for parents and babies might be the perfect activity for you. It's also a great week to look ahead to summer, with several summer camp open houses on Wednesday and Thursday.

Some FREE performances this week include a First Monday Concert in Boston and The Monkey King Puppet Show in Arlington. Another fantastic option is the Evening of Dance with the Boston Ballet on Friday. Read on for our picks of the week, and don't forget to check out our full Event Calendar!

Now that Easter is behind us, we are in full spring mode. Since many kids are off from school this week, you may be looking for things to do with the family, and you are in the right place. With the help of our Guides, weekday and weekend roundups, and our April GoList, you'll find plenty of fun for you and your kids! We only highlight one activity per day in this post, but you can find plenty of other options in our Event Calendar. Enjoy!

Whether you’re on spring break or recovering from last week's school recess, there are a lot of family activities going on in Westchester. If you’re uneasy about giving your high schoolers the keys to the car (and who isn’t?), sign them up for a Teen Safe Driving Workshop. Or test your wits against other kids at Quiz Show Friday or catch comedic juggler Will Shaw.

But that’s not all! We’ve rounded up our top picks for each weekday—so read on, click through for details, and be sure to check out our Event Calendar and April GoList for even more happenings in Westchester for families.

For some of us, it’s hard to tell one end of a newborn from the other. We are, shall we say, the “scientifically challenged”.  But even those of us who didn’t shine in high school science can benefit from of one of the many CPR and First Aid classes available in Fairfield County.

CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) courses instruct one in how to perform rescue breathing and chest compressions to help sustain oxygen flow for someone who has collapsed.  First Aid classes instruct individuals how to treat burns, wounds and other emergency situations.  Also available are Car Seat Safety Checks, where you will be shown how to install your carseat properly. 

All of these classes and checks are great ways to make sure you’re as prepared as possible for everything your little (or big) kiddos might throw your way!!!

Kids love to be part of something special, especially when it's created just for them. Thanks to local sports teams, children can become card-carrying members of exclusive kids' clubs designed to enhance the experience of attending local professional and collegiate athletic events, from basketball to hockey to everything in between. These clubs combine kids' love of sports with the excitement of belonging to a group all their own, so you've got a win-win!

It's been a busy week culminating with three big holidays on Friday—Passover, Good Friday and the start of spring break. With a slew of activities on tap, there is no shortage of fun for you and your family!

We've got Easter weekend festivities, ranging from egg hunts in NYC, to bunny train rides in Connecticut, to hayrides in search of the Easter bunny in the Philly area. And just in time for spring break, festivals in nearby Westchester or a day at the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey. Of course, nothing says spring like a nice picnic among the trees and flowers at Planting Fields Arboretum, one of the best things to do on Long Island with young kids.

For you ski buffs, take advantage of the last few weeks of the season with these weekend trips on our Travel site.
