My kids made an art project with the instructors from ArtForms at the Foster City Art and Wine Festival. It was making a multimedia (charcoal, paint, watercolor) replica of a famous artist's work. It is neat to see your child make something suitable for framing. However, it is EXPENSIVE to go to these classes! $22 bucks per class, especially in this day and age of multiple enrichment classes a week. They also have parties, but they are at least $25/kid! Would be great again if I had money to burn, but I don't.

This is a good yoga place because it's far enough away from the street where you don't hear all the traffic. It's off the beaten path, and through a courtyard, and easy to miss on a first visit. They offer yoga and other body work classes, and some events are free like the noon group meditation. It's a clean and zen space with polished floors, and a small store on site sells yoga mats and products.

While looking for preschools for my son, I heard great things about Children's School from a co-worker of mine whose kids went there. I heard that getting in might be difficult (at the time, the registration was on a Saturday morning and people camped out to get a spot - I believe this has changed). Though I thought camping out at 4 am on a Saturday was insane, I'm glad I did it. Nancy Martin, the school's director, is such a warm and friendly woman who deeply cares about the students and makes everyone feel special. Her staff is great and it's a co-op, which keeps the price down and helps with the transition from toddlerhood to preschooler. It also keeps the adult/student ratio down and engenders great community. There is also a nursery for your younger/older kids who don't have school so you don't have to miss out! I can't wait until September when my daughter becomes a preschooler here!

CSM is a pretty good school compared to all the other junior colleges in the bay area. It sits on a hilly area of San Mateo that always has perfect weather. the campus is beautiful, very well mainatined and always filled with hustle and bustle. They have excellent programs that you can take to transfer you to a four year university. Great JC!

I think College of San Mateo offers good value for the money. You can register on line and get take distance learning classes if you are too busy. You can also take classes at the campus just for career enrichment without being enrolled in a degree program. If you are in a degree program, these credits transfer easily to any 4 year university in California, if you plan it right. That's why it's such a good deal. There is some construction going on at the campus currently, so some of the parking areas are shut down, keep that in mind!

I attanded College of San Mateo for a summer school session. The location of this junior college is in a beautiful and scenic area. Th ecampus is a very good size, not too small or not too larger. The students and faculty are very helpful and friendly. the education at this school is very comparable to City College of San Francisco and Skyline College. Overall, it was a very good experience for me.

Junior Gym in the greatest! I got the pleasure to watch my neice and nephew attend a gymnastics class and was very impressed. I was a bit unsure of what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find a place that lets kids be kids but teaches them about fitness in a fun way. The teacher was a a young energetic guy who knew just what to do to keep several young children engaged while teaching them basic gymnastic skills and keeping it fun. I will recommend this to all my friends with young children.
A side note, they play great music during the classes!
Pros: Fun, clean, energetic and low cost!
Cons: None that I can think of

I went to this school from 1st-3rd grade and loved it! My teachers were amazing. My brother was in the gifted program there and loved being able to interact with so many people. The principal, staff, and school are very nice. The campus has some great rules and scenery and lots of great places to play. They have a nice library as well that has lots of books, the ones needed for school and fun ones like Goosebumps.

When you need to get music lessons on some sort of instrument, I say that you should go check out Lessons on B. Any private teacher is going to be quite costly now a days, but if you're looking for something fairly reasonable, I would suggest going to Lessons on B. They have a wide selection of teachers ready to show you the tricks of the trade and get you on your way. As with all music instruction, what its worth depends on YOU and if you're willing to commit. good luck!
PROS: nice people.
CONS: cost.
