I finally broke down and enrolled my son in Gymboree, back in March. Its a bit pricey, but I wanted to get him involved in something with other kids. (He turned 3 in June). It cost $215 to sign up for 3 months of classes, which is one hour long class per week, plus on Monday, Tuesday and Friday evenings, you can go in for free time, where the kids can play on the equipment and burn some energy. The class has a instructor (who I really liked) who reads the kids a book and leads them in different play time activites, though the parents must be next to their child the entire time (which starts feeling like hovering...you are in a relatively small room and to have to stand next to your child continually gets weird). Anyway, it was fun while it lasted, our class is up soon and thats okay. I wont re enroll him because we are both just kind of done with it. I think by age 3, its kind of young for the kids. So I am now enrolling him in preschool instead.
