I am a mother of two elementary school aged children and my kids want to learn.

I am ashamed to say that our family is not very rich, so I would like to give them one lesson each, but I would like to know the types of lessons and monthly fees for various children's classes. I would like to know the prices of various types of children's lessons and monthly fees.

Also, I would like to know about other types of lessons that cost a lot of money in addition to the monthly fee, such as fees for recitals, trips, costumes, and equipment. I don't want my child to be the only one who can't participate in this program due to financial reasons. Please share your experiences.

I'm not sure about the monthly fees, but I used to use Park and YMCA programs a lot.
They have not only exercise programs but also piano and other programs.
I think the cost is reasonable, so why don't you inquire at least once in your neighborhood ?.

First, you have to know what the children want to do. For example, they want to learn ballet, but you can't tell them to play soccer
because it costs money, or they want to play basketball
but you can't tell them to learn calligraphy because it costs money to go on trips.
(For example.
First, let the kids name 2 or 3 things they want to do
and then you can consider ? children get bored easily, so if you make them learn something they don't want to learn
because of money, it is
a waste of money and time. It's a waste of money and time. Also, even if you ask here
, it would be easier to answer if you give more specifics about what you want to learn.

Yes, if you could be a little more specific, I'm sure many of us could give you our opinions.
I think elementary school students are very different from first graders and fifth graders. 。。。。 And boys and girls will have different
advice.

But, in general, individual sports are expensive. If you're a girl, figure skating or gymnastics is robustly expensive. At first, they let their children learn just for fun, but as they get better, they are told that they will be placed in an athletes' course and will be required to attend twice a week... At first, parents are happy and wonder if their children have potential ? and let them attend twice a week, but eventually it becomes three or four weeks. 。。。。 The monthly fee goes up and up and up. And when they start participating in tournaments, parents are also asked to volunteer, and the cost of coaching ( lodging, airfare, and meals ) are paid for by the parents who go to the tournaments. I was surprised how much money it cost when my child did well and had to play in another state or in Hawaii.

The same is true for figure skating. As you get better, you have to hire your own coach, rent out the rink for morning practice, etc. Costumes for competitions are also expensive. Costumes for competitions are also expensive. If you are a girl, I felt that figure skating and gymnastics are the two sports you should stay away from if you can't afford it💦

I don't have any experience, but I think team sports are still less expensive ?.


In the summer, swimming looked like fun with the programs that the City was doing. If you go to a slightly larger park, I think you can get a guide to those programs. The ones that City offers are very inexpensive. However, the piano classes were cheap or bad. If you go to a big park, there is always a building that offers such activities, so I think you should go there and get a brochure. Some programs are year-round and some are specifically for summer vacation. They are just cheaper, so registration can get crowded.
