Summer is finally here! I have listed down several available summer classes in Cebu because I am pretty sure that a lot of moms are already busy looking for activities that their kids can enjoy this season.
With about 2 months of no school, summer is a great time to introduce new things to the kids. Not only to help them find their real interests in life but it is also an opportunity for us parents to help them find activities that can help develop their social, motor and cognitive skills.
My kids have attended swimming classes in the past summers because they are tadpoles in their previous lives but this year, my 12 year-old son has taken an interest in taking either piano lessons (thanks to the movie “Sing”) or robotics.
The 6 year-old girl on the other hand, still wants to take swimming classes (and karate and ballet and painting… duh). We will finalize their enrollment and registrations once we’re done with their school recognition day next week.
Now, I know how busy moms can be so I took the time to compile a few of what I think are really awesome and unique summer classes in Cebu.
I hope this list will help you find fun and worthwhile activities that your kids will love!
