Life with toddlers can be a busy season and at Macaroni KID Brentwood we know every family has different schedules and needs, so options are always a good idea.
We reached out to some local businesses that offer a wide variety of classes to see what options they had for families looking for weekend options specifically for toddlers and here's what we found.
*the following were available at the time of researching this article. Be sure to check directly with businesses to see what is currently available.
East County Performing Arts Center
ECPAC is known for a variety of dance and fine arts classes for kids of all ages, but did you know they have a class specifically offered to toddlers ages 2-3 called Boogie Babies? Boogie Babies is an introductory class of creative song, tap and ballet. They currently offer a Boogie Babies class on Sundays so be sure to check them out. They let you try a class for free!
If your little one is interested in gymnastics, The Little Gym of Brentwood has quite a few weekend options for them to get their wiggles out, try new things, and engage with other children.
The class schedule is the same on Saturday AND Sunday so you have options for either day.
Beasts (18 months - 2.5 years) --> 9:15 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
Super Beasts (2.5 years - 3 years) --> 10:45 a.m.
Funny Bugs (3 years) --> Saturday 11:30 a.m. & Sunday 11:30 a.m. And 12:15 p.m.
When you enroll after an introductory visit (which costs $30), you will save $50 by not having to pay the registration fee.
Toddler classes at The Tutu School in Brentwood are a chance for your little ones to dance out stories which nurtures big imaginations. They offer "Tutu Toddlers" which is a Parent-and-me style class where you'll work with the teacher to engage your little one and give them an introduction to ballet they'll never forget!
There are currently openings for their Tutu Toddlers class on Sunday mornings and afternoons, but check back to see what other days/times open up! 
Did you know that the Delta First 5 Center is a resource for local families that offers free classes and workshops? They also have free drop in play! Currently, on the weekends you can drop in and play in their imaginative play area on Saturdays from 8am-1pm (although they do close some Saturdays so check their calendar before you go). This is a great option for toddlers to learn and play in a new environment and socialize with other young children.
In addition to weekday options, The Black Diamond Kids Center offers a Parent-and-Me gymnastics class on Saturdays from 9-9:45am. Some of the benefits of gymnastics for toddlers include: helping them develop listening skills, self discipline and self control as well as increasing their confidence.
