Creative Movement & Arts Center - Needham

Creative Movement & Arts is a great place for classes up to age 8.  They have infant, gymnastics, ballet, spanish, music and art classes.  The birthday parties are super fun and let the parents relax. The facility is gorgeous with two HUGE playrooms with climbing structures and one smaller mirrored wall room. 

The teachers are great and my kids loved it there!  They are part of Bright Horizons and post most of the information on their website at (website is being revamped 4/28/08 - call (781) 449-2707 for info) http://centers.brighthorizons.com/CMAC/index.cfm  They are located in the office park behind the new Needham Public Library.
