Your Online Back to School Fair Is Here for Classes, Schools, Preschools, and Remote Learning Support

9/1/20 - By Anna Fader

To say that back to school looks different this year than other years is a massive understatement. But whether your family is going all virtual, hybrid, or trying something new with school alternatives, homeschooling or even unschooling, an enrichment class is always a great addition to give kids creative time, learn new skills, and possibly even get outside! Or maybe you are still looking for school alternatives for this year or the next.

Whatever your school needs are for the 2020-2021 year, our Back to School Fair is a great place to find virtual programs and in-person classes, schools, and preschools. If you are overwhelmed with distance learning, there are services offering in-person and virtual remote learning support. 

The Back to School Fair is FREE, and it's easy to browse dozens of virtual info booths from home at your convenience. Read about the programs, watch virtual video tours, and find the websites and contact info to sign up all in one place.

New programs are added daily so make sure to check back for additional options. Once you are registered, we'll also email you an update of new programs and a schedule of the live demo sessions where you can learn more about the programs.

About the Author

Anna Fader

Founder & CEO of Mommy Poppins
Anna was born in Park Slope, spent her early years in the West Village. By the time she graduated high school, she had lived in 4 of the 5 boroughs. Growing up in NYC in the '70s meant the streets were her playgrounds. Museums and avant garde music venues were the kid-friendly activities. And living downtown taught her the importance of creating community for families in NYC.

Now, raising her own two children in the city, she tries to create the same sense of magic and community she felt growing up, despite today's more commercialized version of kid-friendly New York.

She started Mommy Poppins in 2007 to share a more artsy, educational, uncommercial, community-oriented vision of raising kids in New York City. Today Mommy Poppins is relied on by millions of families as the authority on the best things to do with kids beyond New York City: from Boston to Philly, Los Angeles, Houston and travel guides for dozens more cities and destinations.
