Open Gym
The Malta Community Center's beautiful new gym is in use a lot these days.  However, anytime there is nothing scheduled for a block of time, they allow for Open Gym which means anyone can use the gym free of charge.  It figures that as soon as nice weather starts to hit, they are offering more of these Open Gym times!  Still, with the rain likely this spring, it will be nice to know you can take the kids out of the house and let them run around a bit. 

Times are subject to change, but here's a quick rundown:
Monday:  11:30am - 12:00,  3:00pm - 5:00pm
Tuesday:  9:00am - 4:00pm
Wednesday:  1:00-3:00 (open net play)  3:00-5:00 (12+ only)
Thursday:  10:00am - 12:00 (open net play)  3:00pm - 5:00pm (12+ only) 
Friday:  10:30 - 12:00,  1:00 - 6:30pm
Saturday:  9:00 - 10:00, 11:30 - 12:00

Malta Community Center Spring 2010 brochure

The Malta Community Center just put out their Spring 2010 activities brochure.  If you live in Malta you’ll get one in the mail, but in case you don’t, download the PDF here.  

I’m bummed that my complaining fell on deaf ears about the Tot Open Gym.  It used to be a drop-in open gym time for ages 18months - 3years on Monday morning from 9:30-11am for $3, no registration required.  Now they have shortened the time to 45 minutes, 9:00-9:45am, and you have to purchase a block of 4 consecutive weeks for $12.  I don’t know about you, but to get the kids out the door for just 45 minutes (that’s if you make it there at 9!), and to have to commit for 4 weeks and prepay is NOT a good idea.  

On the bright side, they have added a Family Open Gym time on Saturday morning from 9am-10am which is FREE starting in March!  I’ll remind you again about those free open gym times when we get closer to March.

What's so great about Malta, NY?

If you're thinking 'nothing', you're wrong!

I'm going to start with the newly expanded Malta Community Center.  If you haven't already checked out the new facilities, you are missing out.  There is a neat little library with a room for the kids and lots of new titles and DVD's for adults.  Operating hours are a little wacky, so here goes: M-Th 9am-1pm & 4pm-8pm; Friday 2pm-7pm; and Saturday 9am-12pm.  Last time I checked they haven't added a story time or special programs, but I bet in the very near future they will.  Next time you're in there, ask about it!  If enough of us mom's and dad's inquire, they will definitely add something.  

The focul point of the new community center is a gigantic gymnasium!  Again, the schedule is a little confusing so the best bet is to download the Winter 2010 brochure.  

Also in the brochure is information on classes.  My son takes the Toddler music class on Wednesday mornings and loves it.  It's $35 for 5 weeks to give you an average cost.  Non-residents may pay a few dollars more, but it's not much.  So check it out sometime and let me know what you think by either commenting below or emailing info@maltamama.com. 
For those of you who have been before, let others know about your experience by commenting below.
