Just for Kids

Please visit www.renaudcenter.com or call 636-474-2732 for the most up-to-date information, including current hours of operation, program details, registration and class schedules. The Just for Kids programs listed in this section are accurate as of press time, but are subject to change due to the COVID-19 situation.

Our Just for Kids programs offer a great way for parents and grandparents to spend quality time with young children or take a little time for themselves while their children participate in a class. Children also benefit by socializing with others in enjoyable classes that can include singing, dancing, creating art and learning new skills. Look for new classes and family favorites every quarter!

Young children attending without a parent must be completely potty-trained and able to use the restroom independently. If your child is not potty-trained but would like to participate in one of our programs, please call 636-474-2732 for information on making arrangements.

Students will progress through a series of techniques and belts at their own pace and will not necessarily test each session.

Min/Max: 7/20
