Club Kid Academy
Welcome to the our new parent-child enrichment program, Club Kid Academy at Watertown Boys & Girls Club! We are delighted to welcome your family to our Club!
About Club Kid Academy
Club Kid Academy is designed to offer a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for children ages 15 months – 6 years old. Some classes will require a parent, while others may be independent, while a parent or caregiver remains in the room. In all cases, the focus will be learning, creativity, friendship, and fun!
Club Kid Academy is housed in our brand new, beautifully renovated lower-level program space at Watertown Boys & Girls Club, featuring multi-purpose learning and activity spaces, a dedicated arts & crafts corner, a quiet room and education lab.
