Citibabes Comes to the Country

Citibabes of Manhattan is now open in Scarsdale. Their beautifully designed space includes over 9,000 square under the Popham Road bridge.  But what is Citibabes? A children’s play space? A pre-school? A family center?  A gym? A café? A retail store?  The answer is all of the above and more.  The center offers parents and caregivers of young children a place to go to enjoy themselves, either separately or together.  Kids as young as 2 months old can attend, and will be minded by qualified caregivers. There are classes for children up to the age of ten and they can choose from instruction in art, cooking, science, music, ballet, movement, or language.  Regularly-scheduled entertainers, such as musicians and magicians will provide fun throughout the day. The facility includes an indoor playground, computer stations and four classrooms that open up into a 1,250 square foot space that’s ideal for birthday parties. The bright décor designed by Edwin Schlossberg‘s renowned eco-friendly firm, ESI Design, make the site safe and attractive.

While the children are busy, parents and caregivers can visit the healthy café, shop at the hip retail store or use the gym which offers yoga and spinning and a full schedule of group classes. The spinning classes are run by “SoulCycling” an indoor cycling studio based in Manhattan.  There are pre-natal programs and personal trainers are on hand.  Educational workshops on parenting are also included.

What’s the price tag?  The annual membership fee of $2,100 allows all family members, including grandparents and caregivers to use the club and access its facilities.  If you are interested in touring the club and learning more, go to their website  to learn more.
