Local youth club offers family programs for children

As a mother of two children under 4, Tiffany Seldon found it tough to find area programs geared toward her kids.

“Unless it’s dance, there’s not a lot to do before 4 or 5,” she said.

That’s a big reason The Studio, on Coombs Farm Drive, came to be.

Seldon, a co-owner of the youth club — which launched Jan. 6 — said the point is for families to have a place to play, learn and socialize.

In addition to a class schedule that prepares kids for everything from sports and dance to music and language, there are open play times and the opportunity to rent spaces for parties.

“We want kids to be able to explore their interests, but not have to commit to one class,” Seldon said, explaining that those who sign up for a membership can attend any class.

The Studio is designed for infants to 10-year-olds.

“We haven’t even been open for two weeks, but it’s been good,” Seldon said. “It’s really fun. I have an 8-month-old and a 3-year-old, and I love getting to watch them interact with other kids.”
