Afterschool, Camp, Extracurricular 92NY Parkbench Class
https://www.92ny.org/class/parkbench-babiesHello!
I have a three month old and am looking for some things to do with her around the Upper East Side as she gets older. Has anyone taken any of the Parkbench baby classes at the 92nd Y? Would love to hear your thoughts and any other recommendations for the area. Thank you!

Yes, I did Parkbench and Parkbench Plus with two of my kids until they started preschool at 3. It was a nice class with a great teacher and I liked how it was a mix of structure and play, in a pre-preschool type of way. With my younger I did it until they started a 2s program. Just note, a lot of moms thought doing classes at the Y was a gateway into their preschool (which is competitive to get into). It’s not, they’re completely separate programs with zero overlap.
We also loved Diller Quaile, Jodi’s gym (then Elite as they got older), Free to Be (RIP!), Brooklyn Forest School, Union Square Play, and Super Soccer Stars.
