Sign Up for Free Trial Classes for Kids!

We love to find the right classes and lessons for our kids. Our small 510families team has signed up for everything from Academics to Zumba lessons, but isn’t it great to try out a class before committing to a full session? Yes, it is! Here are a few great places that offer occasional free trials on kids’ classes. You nearly always have to sign up in advance.

Pro tip: If you’re curious about a class provider and you don’t see them on our list, it doesn’t hurt to ask!

  1. Thanks for this list! You may want to update the Berkeley Martial Arts Kuk Sool Won listing – I called and asked if they offer outdoor kids classes and if they require masks. The person who answered curtly said no he doesn’t have outdoor classes, masks are not required, and he’s actually not teaching classes right now. Crossing that option off the list!
