Recreation
The first step to enrolling your child in a recreational or extracurricular activity is understanding your options. From birth, there are a variety of activities, clubs and organizations anxious for your participation. Here, we offer a broad introduction to what is out there and where to go for more information.
Often the first programs for your child are music based. Kindermusik, Music Together or Gymboree are great places to turn.
- Kindermusik, PlayPlus for Kids - www.playplusforkids.com, 321-751-4256
- Music Together of Greater Brevard - www.musictogetherofgreaterbrevard.com, 321-543-0187
- Gymboree of Melbourne - www.gymboreeclasses.com, 321-259-5669
By about age four though, your little one is ready to stretch his/her legs and take on a more physical activity with mom and dad on the sideline. Dance, gymnastics, soccer, t-ball, baseball, softball, football/cheerleading, and basketball are among the most common.
