Do you find it hard to find kid classes on Saturdays?

NYBoston05 · March 2011

I am struggling with finding classes to sign up for with either my 3 year old or my 10 month old on Saturday mornings besides swimming. I wanted to find something for my 3 year old- sports or karate but it seems like everything for that age group is during the week while I am working and he is in day care. Then the little Mommy and me music classes for my 10 month old are week days classes too. Anybody have any luck?

I work odd shifts and am able to do during the week and I still found it hard to find classes for my ds when he was 8m/o (when we first moved here). many programs were for kids ages 3 and up. gymbo and the little gym were booked. blah.

for the 3y/o.... we have a lot offered on w/es but they fill up quick. I've heard people register for soccer a year in advance. there's gymnastics (not gymbo, but actual gymnastics/tumbling competitive gyms), dance, and ice skating starts around age 3 or 4 here. check the local children's museum for art classes. they are out there, they just fill up. but if I'm off on the weekend, I'd rather have that time for the 4 of us. but we rarely have weekends off together.

Yes! I would like something for DD to do and the Sat classes offered are much fewer. Even the 'open gym' times are on the week days. Frustrating!

I recently enrolled my two year old in a parent and tot gymnastics class on Saturday mornings. The class is at a local gymnastics center but offered through our nearby city parks and recreation classes. I think there are more options as they get older. This class was for 16 months plus.

Check for a Gymboree in your area. Ours has lots of Saturday classes.

Look into Music Together classes - they are nationwide and usually offer lots of Saturday options. We've had DD in MT since she was 11 mos and she can continue until her 6th birthday.

Maybe it depends on the area... We have a gymboree class, gymnastics, and soccer all on a Saturday morning, there is also gymboree offered on Sundays too. I will say that it is harder to get into those classes because they fill up quickly, but not impossible!

In the DC area, lack of Sat. classes is not a problem, but having the Sat. classes fill up quickly is the problem. It's really hard to get a spot in a weekend class - lots of working parents around here I guess!

Not really. My kids just finished ice skating lessons on Sats. There is a library program on Sat AM that we take them too also (and it's free). DS will start swimming again soon on Sat AM. Soccer and Tball are on a weekday evening and Sat AM.

I haven't really done it, but our YMCA (we are members) offers some weekend morning tumbling classes for kids starting around age 2.

It annoys me as well. Not all of us can attend a class at 9 a.m. or 2 p.m. FIL is taking DS to a class for me, because I really wanted him to go to a certain place. Once he's in the next class up, I'll be able to take him.

THIS... I have to drive 40 min way to get to a Gymboree that has saturday classes.
