We just moved this past weekend and I need recs for lots of things: gymnastics, soccer, and ballet. Hailey is interested in all of them, but we will probably pick 1 or 2. I looked at the city of Alpharetta programs, but it looks like most don't start until 4 and she is 3.5. Would love any recs. Thanks!

Re: Need recs in the Alpharetta/Milton/Crabapple area
Hi neighbor!! I live in Crabapple in the City of Milton.
I haven't had much luck with this. I know the YMCA (Old Milton) has programs in that area that are geared towards younger children. We are not member there, so i haven't looked into it. Ava has been begging to play soccer, but she won't be 4 until November and not eligible in most programs.
The City of Milton Parks and Rec dept. is still very limited. last time I checked, there really wasn't much for either Carter (age 5) or Ava (age 3.5).
I've had the most luck with the City of Roswell for soccer. Organized practice/games starts at 4-years, BUT they just started a new program for younger kids (ages 2-3) to teach them the fundamnetals. You don't play games, I don't think, it's just a soccer class. And I'm pretty sure that Roswell or Alpharetta parks department has gymnastics for that age as well.
I know nothing about Ballet, but i know the dayacre that we use has a ballet class for ages 3+. I'll see who it is, b/c maybe there is a class for children at the studio as well. There is a dance studio in the Silos shopping plaza at Crabapple/Houze intersection. Maybe they have classes there?
I signed Oliver up for Kiddie Kickers soccer for 2 & 3 year olds through Roswell: https://roswell.patch.com/events/kiddie-soccer-kickers-at-east-roswell-recreation-center
We did soccer for Danielle at Alpharetta YMCA (3-4 years old meet only 5 saturdays, you practice and have a game the same day) and at i9sports https://www.i9sports.com/HomePage.aspx?area=johns-creek-cumming-alpharetta&franchise=119
We did Gymnastics through Alpharetta Parks & Rec from 2.5 years old - 4.5 years old LOVE the program. They have 2 years old there too, not sure why it seemed like they didn't do that young. I had to do 2.5 because I needed a saturday class. https://www.editionduo.com/publication/?i=71196 gymnastics is page 12 and 13, ballet (although we haven't taken from there) is page 10 and 11.
We did Ballet mostly through day care program that i LOVED. Then we did https://danceandarts.com/ for about 3 months, I didn't love it or hate it, but it was at 5:30...too long of a day for us. Now we are at www.rispa.net for mini hip hop. so far i've liked them.
hope that helps!
We do dance at Off Broadway Dance near the Silos.
Cammie started at age 3. HTH's!
