Art Classes for Young Children Ages 0 to 5 Years

Why is experimenting with art so important during the early years of a child's life? Art stimulates both the left and right sides of a child's brain and enhances their capacity of memory, attention and concentration in addition to being able to better express their feelings, ideas and emotions.

The sensory art program at The Kids Club SI allows babies, toddlers and young children the ability to explore visual and textural-based art mediums. Perhaps best of all, our program lets parents keep their sanity intact because all the mess stays here at our facility.

It is great to have a true top-notch parent/child educational center for baby and toddler classes on Staten Island with the expert teachers we know and trust from the old Gymboree Play and Music. My wife, daughter, and I love attending play, music and art classes together and see how appropriately focused the classes are around the child’s age and milestone (unlike other programs we’ve checked out on the island). Having previously worked for the Board of Education, I recognize how methodically and thoughtfully the set-up of The Kids Club program is around childhood development and the fundamental learning through play concept. The benefits of finally having a facility like this on Staten Island are endless and I encourage any parent considering enrolling their child in any type of activity-based class to check out The Kids Club! They are the best!

My princess baby Amirah and I love The Kids Club so much. The teachers are so loving and caring. I started taking my baby for classes here when she was only 3 months old. She is now 12 months! The Kids Club helped me leave my house and go do something fun with my baby when I was nervous to do so (I'm a first time mom and felt overwhelmed with taking her out because I dreaded her having a meltdown in public!). The classes are engaging and I'm so happy knowing I am doing what I believe is best to help her grow socially and mentally. Thank you for creating a fun and safe space for me and my baby girl!

I cannot say enough positive things about The Kids Club of SI! Our daughter started baby music and play classes when she was an infant (when this location was formerly Gymboree Play and Music of SI). We fell in love with all the classes and the incredible teachers who are truly experts in childhood development and love each child as their own....As a first time mom wanting only the best for my daughter, I was very critical in selecting the parent-child enrichment classes and mommy and me classes on Staten Island our family would eventually sign up for. I can confidently say that The Kids Club of SI, without a doubt, is the premier childhood education center on Staten Island!
