Since you're new hear you might not know what "cc" means. There are Community Centers (cc's) in each neighborhood which tend to offer classes and workshops. There will be one in your neighborhood which you'll need to join if you want to participate. Most have other benefits as well and the price is reasonable.

I'd be surprised if they offer something for a 3 year old. My own opinion is that children of that age are better off at home or playing with other kids rather than being "managed" to participate in an organized activity when they have such a short attention span to begin with. And what's better than having mom or dad engage you in an activity, anyway.

I'm resigned to the idea that parents feel the need to push their kids into "learning" every moment. Maybe that's not your situation and you've run out of ideas. But if you can find a way, why not let him stay home with a loving adult?
