The Town of Oyster Bay’s toddler arts and crafts program will be offered again this fall, beginning on Sept. 29. This six-week program offers classes at the town’s Ice Skating Center community room in Bethpage and at the Hicksville Athletic Center, and is open to children ages two through four.
“The town’s toddler arts and crafts program is a wonderful way to help support your toddler’s development through nurturing their artistic expression,” Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh wrote in a statement. “Classes will certainly fill up quickly as this program offers children an opportunity to meet others their age and explore their creativity.”
The program begins Sept. 29 and is 6 weeks in duration. Residents who sign their toddler up for the program must choose one class per week, per child. Classes will take place on:
Tuesdays at 10 a.m. for two-year-olds, and 11 a.m. for three-and-four-year-olds at the Hicksville Athletic Center in Hicksville;
Wednesdays at 10 a.m. for two-year-olds, and 11 a.m. for three-and-four-year-olds at the Ice Skating Center community room in Bethpage;
Thursdays at 10 a.m. for two-year-olds, and 11 a.m. for three-and-four-year-olds at the Ice Skating Center community room in Bethpage.
Registration is available online through the parks registration portal at OysterBayTown.com/portal. Space is limited- first come, first serve. Registration will close when the program reaches full capacity.
Each class is approximately 45 minutes. The cost of the program is $35 per child who is a town resident, and $45 per child whose care giver is a town resident but not the child. The child’s birth certificate and a tax or utility bill will be required to validate age and proof of residency. A guardian must be present during the class. A smock and supplies will be provided with enrollment. The final day to request a refund for this program will be Oct. 8, 2026.
The program is run by the town’s Parks Department, Recreation Division. For further information, call (516) 797-7945.
