While isolated during Covid they did double duty to make sure our kids still had some sort of programming. Doors are now open and the level of cleaning that they do to ensure our safety gives me zero worries! Try them out ASAP and it's worth it! My six year old also does acro so he can be a super ninja and uses these skills to rock in his martial art classes.

"If a man could be two places at one time I'd be with you…read moreTomorrow and today Beside you all the way" (Bread) The Fairfield Art Museum has a split personality! That's because their wonderful painting and sculpture exhibits can be found in two separate and distinct buildings. The two locations are known as the Bellarmine Hall Galleries and the Walsh Gallery. You can walk from one to the other by following Bellarmine Road, it was a fairly easy walk. The Bellarmine Galleries are on the lower level of Fairfield University's main building. The space had previously been used for basement storage and underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation that opened the museum in 2010. They have some permanent exhibits dating from antiquity through the centuries, and many of them are religious themed. The paintings and artifacts are beautiful. The rotating exhibit displayed photographs. 'Famous & Family: Through the Lens of Trude Fleischmann'. She was a groundbreaking photographer that lived from 1895-1990. She loved taking portrait photos and I saw portraits of Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Leopold Stokowski among the 100 photos on display. The second museum space is known as the Walsh Gallery, and you'll find it inside the Quick Art Center. It's used to showcase special exhibitions and today's exhibition featured selections from Ireland's Great Hunger Museum. The exhibit looks at the impact of the Irish Famine of 1845-1852 through artwork produced by Irish and Irish American artists. Some of the paintings and sculptures were truly haunting, especially "Famine Ship", a sculpture crafted in 2000 by John Behan. His sculpture looks like an ordinary three masted ship, but if you look closely at the masts and the riggings you'll unveil dozens of intertwined bodies representing those that perished along the journey from Ireland to America. There was a guard and a very helpful docent in Bellarmine, and a guard with no docent at Walsh. Both halves of the museum are free and the walk along the campus from one to the other was very scenic and enjoyable. In fact, the art on Fairfield's campus isn't restricted to the museum. We saw plenty of public art sculptures all over the university grounds.

The Bellarmine Hall Gallery is on the basement of a beautiful stone building sitting on top of the hilly campus. There is handicapped parking off O'Neil Way, and parking directly in front of the building (four spots). The hall has a lot of beautiful religious art from the 1500s, 1600s.. They are associated with the Met, and have other small examples of art from other cultures, some dating back to BCE. There is also a rotating exhibit, which at this time, the rotating exhibit is Japanese lacquer boxes. The Walsh Gallery is located in the Quick Art Center, and seems to be rotating exhibits. At this time, they have pieces from six Cuban artists. Both Galleries have extremely beautiful pieces and detailed descriptions explaining what you're looking at. Admission is free. Since both Galleries are on campus, check before going to make sure nothing has changed due to school breaks.

My young child was extremely exited to participate and we were so disappointed by the inappropriate…read morebehavior of the instructors. I witnessed them being cruel and impatient and they should not be working with children. It was a traumatic experience for my child and I hope my review helps another family avoid what we went through. It sounds like the instructor is confusing my child with another child but it is not surprising to me that there is more than one child who has had a horrible experience there. To clarify I fully witnessed the instructors yelling and witnessed them insulting my child while my child was in the room. **** Editing to add to respond to directors agressive response that he know who we are with the implication he will come after us: it sounds alot like you are attempting to threaten me to take down my truthrul review. I absolutely witnessed two instructors yelling at my child at pickup and personally experienced one instructor yelling at me dispite zero rise in volume on my part. The directors response to my truthful message as seen here is further evidence of how agressive this program is. I highly recommend you look elsewhere and I will not be threatened to take down my review knowing it can help save other children and families from such horrific conduct.

Mary Ann Hall's Music for Children is a music appreciation school for infants, children and parents…read moreand has locations in Norwalk, Southport, Greenwich, Fairfield and Darien (as well as Manhattan and locations in the Bay Area of San Fran.) My young children have loved the class for the lively and fun atmosphere, the instruments they can play themselves and the ability to move and groove when they want to. As a parent, I love the class because each teacher is a musician and can play at least two instruments. In addition each teacher is so warm and friendly - they really enjoy what they do. The youngest ones go to class with a parent. At age 4 or 5 they go by themselves. My 5 year old is being introduced to the piano and next year she can start the recorder. The musical notes and tempos have been taught since day one although the kids may not have realized it. The school has researched music education with children extensively, however they really have their own brand when it comes to the music they teach and play. All the music is their own and the kids really connect with it. I highly recommend this school!
