Mommy-and-me classes are a great way to bond with your child while developing their socialization skills and learning something new. Plus, it's an excuse to get out of the house, meet new friends, and shake up your daily routine.

We've rounded up 14 mommy-and-me classes offered in the Hudson Valley, ranging from parent-child music classes to mommy-and-me soccer and family yoga classes. 

For even more after-school programs, check out our full Classes Guide for Westchester & Hudson Valley Kids and our Back to School Guide.
