Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Michele Johnson announced that the popular Toddler Arts & Crafts Program will be offered again this Fall, beginning on September 28, 2021. This 8-week program offers classes at the Town’s Ice Skating Center Community Room in Bethpage and at the Hicksville Athletic Center, and is open to children ages 2 through 4.
“The Town’s Toddler Arts & Crafts Program is a wonderful way to help support your toddler’s development through nurturing their artistic expression,” said Councilwoman Johnson. “Classes will certainly fill up quickly as this program offers children an opportunity to meet others their age and explore their creativity.”
The Toddler Arts & Crafts Program is 8 weeks in duration, beginning September 28th, and residents who sign their toddler up for the program must choose one class per week, per child. Classes will take place on:
- Tuesdays at 10am for two-year olds and 11am for three-and-four-year olds at the Hicksville Athletic Center in Hicksville;
- Wednesdays at 10am for two-year olds and 11am for three-and-four-year olds at the Ice Skating Center Community Room in Bethpage; and
- Thursdays at 10am for two-year olds and 11am for three-and-four-year olds at the Ice Skating Center Community Room in Bethpage.
Registration takes place on Monday, September 13 from 1pm – 4pm at Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Road, in Massapequa (registration will take place outside by the south side-door entrance).
Each class is approximately 45 minutes. The cost of the program is $25 per child who is a Town resident, and $30 per child whose care giver is a Town resident but not the child. Space is limited and upon registration, the child’s birth certificate and a tax or utility bill will be required to validate age and proof of residency. A guardian must be present during the class. A smock and supplies will be provided with enrollment.
The Toddler Arts & Crafts Program is run by the Town’s Parks Department, Recreation Division. For further information, please call (516) 797-7945.
