13 Stellar Classes for Kids in Toronto
By 
-
Little Kickers
Some programs totally score with the kids, others you need to coax, coerce or cajole in order to get them there. That shouldn't be the case with Little Kickers' classes, which encourage learning the basics of the game, teamwork and cooperation while at the same time just allowing kids the age-old pleasure of simply kicking a ball around.
-
Kidville
From arts and science rooms to a music room and a Wiggle room—for the wee babies—Kidville is the perfect place to send your kiddies this fall. Classes range from newborn to age 6 and encompass sports, music, dance and gym—they even have a valet to park your car while you chase after your jumpy bunnies.

13 Stellar Classes for Kids in Toronto
From drama and circus classes to diving and art lessons, you'll find something for everyone with these twelve stellar classes for kids in Toronto.
-
Play Loft
When we're running a little dry in the creativity department, we turn to the recently opened Play Loft on the Danforth for their high quality and diverse programs. From Tai Chi to meditation, LEGO to Handwriting Without Tears. There is a range of artistic programs great for after school expressions, and if you are looking for a new birthday party venue, active kids will love the series of small trampolines, mini climbing wall and sand pit. Good to know: there is drop-in play time on the weekends.
-
The Drama Mamas
Kids love to act up so let them have fun with those natural instincts in classes that span their earliest years. Register for an existing class, or gather a group of friends together and take advantage of The Drama Mamas' open studio time to set up your own sessions with two moms who know a thing or two about dealing with drama.
-
Nature Clubs for Kids
In-demand nature classes at one of the best inner-city parks means registration spots fill up quickly. With only a few classes still open, enroll your kids in these environmentally awesome activities now.
-
Wholeplay
Wholeplay classes look at the whole child—nurturing their independence and encouraging their participation and exploration while celebrating the parent-child connection in fun group class environments.
-
Children's Fitness Centres of Canada
This highly regarded gymnastics centre—now with three locations in Toronto—offers technical ballet instruction through a partnership with Poise, for children ages 3 to 12. These excellent instructors are passionate about ensuring kids learn coordination, agility, and yes, even fun along the way.
-
Dive Toronto
If straight swimming lessons no longer inspire them, University of Toronto's diving classes could be a great way to reinvigorate their interest in getting wet. Held at the U of T pool, with a limited number of participants in each session, kids will start off learning the basics of diving and, depending on their ability, end off the session with some seriously impressive water-entry skills.
-
Just Bounce
This family run trampoline centre has instructed some of Canada's top trampoline athletes. Their mission is to have kids fall in love with the sport while ensuring the activities are safe, creative and energetic while giving kids the confidence to let their spirits soar (literally).
-
Annex Children’s Theatre in Education
Their acting classes are always popular (particularly their Young Players and Glee Crew programs), but for hipsters who like to hop around, the hip-hop classes are where it's at—teaching them to move with modern hit music. Good to Know: Classes require a full-year commitment.
-
Royal Ontario Museum Saturday Morning Club
Sign up now for ROM's Saturday morning kids club because it's notoriously hard to get into. For good reason—passionate leaders, educational and fun topics, and getting the green light to run (supervised) around one of Canada's best museums. Sessions are limited to 20 kids, so good luck!
-
ArtBarn: Arty Clay
Registration is now open for several of ArtBarn's excellent and exploratory art classes—some which offer parent/child participation and others that are all about the kids. Combining storytelling and art, as well as a clay-based creative arts class, the kids will come home having expressed the best part of their individual spirits.
-
The Circus Academy
Also known as Centre of Gravity, this circus-themed school, which does classes and birthday parties, celebrates all the acrobatics of circus life, but instead of your basement or couch taking a beating, it is all done in-house under the watchful and creative-eyes of trained professionals. No wonder the classes are so popular.
