Our List of Valentine's Day Activities for Kids in Westchester!
/Hi everyone!
After a particularly dull January (multiple kid events every day from Halloween to New Year’s, then…nothing!), we’re excited for the Valentine’s-Day-to-Easter season to keep us busy until the weather warms up enough to resume our normal playground activity. A lot of places (mostly libraries!) are planning fun Vday events, so we’ve put them together in one easy list for you and your little cupid!
But first—it’s finally here! THIS THURSDAY head to Hoff-Barthelson Music School in Scarsdale between 7pm and 9pm for their Summer Arts Program Open House. This 5-week program for kids in grades 1 to 10 is the perfect place to hone their musical skills. Take advantage of open house enrollment savings. Click here for more info.
