Moving to Kensington: Classes for Kids
Kensington offers a variety of activities for babies and children. We’re the only neighborhood in Brooklyn with a horse stable, for example.
Spring semester registration is open now. Many of the activities offer a trial class so contact the ones you’re interested in, try out a class and sign up for a session that’ll take you through the end of the school year.
