The kid's area is bursting with adorable toys, games, puzzles and dolls, along with beautiful baby clothing — much of it organic, eco-friendly and Made in the USA. Beautiful serving pieces, plush blankets and pillows, candles, bags, scarves and jewelry line the tables and shelves — all arranged with exquisite detail and attention. Bring the kids and enjoy your shopping experience. There are lots of books and toys to keep them occupied. The Gift Garage staff is happy to make a personalized gift basket for any occasion. Can't come in? Just call and they'll be happy to do the shopping for you. All gifts are beautifully wrapped and can be delivered locally, free of charge.

Little Joe's Books, celebrating its one-year anniversary, is a warm, welcoming place for kids to learn to love books. The only children's bookstore in northern Westchester, Little Joe's plays an important role in the community. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to grab a latte or tea downstairs, wander up with their kids and stay awhile.

The staff is extremely knowledgeable and enjoys nothing more than talking to kids (and adults) about books. There's a lot happening at Little Joe's, including story hour every Thursday at 4:15, two book clubs, craft hours, author visits and monthly "crazy" days. Visit www.

Carol and John Gattucci and daughter Jessica Morrison spend time to talk with clients about what they want and keep them looking their absolute best between appointments. Hair Wharf's the spot to go for men's, women's and kids' cuts and blowouts, foils, nonbleach blazing, which maintains hair integrity without sacrificing beauty, extensions, glazes, facial and arm waxing, and much, much more. Carol jokes that Hair Wharf's the "Steel Magnolias of Katonah," and that speaks to the care each and every customer receives, including fashionable wigs or extensions for medical patients. Great hair-product lines to use at home, too, including Ladibugs lice prevention shampoo, conditioner and mint spray!

Tutoring Club in Katonah is part of a respected national franchise offering personalized programs to help students from kindergarten through high school "catch up and keep up," learn and retain critical skills, and prepare for academic success. Owned by Patricia A. Wagner, Ed.D., with a master's degree in psychology and a doctorate in education — both from Teachers College, Columbia University — Tutoring Club is in its seventh year here. Tutors specializing in all levels of mathematics, reading, science and international languages join Dr. Wagner, who was on staff at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York Medical College and Teachers College, Columbia University. An initial skills assessment shows each student's academic strengths and weaknesses. A mastery-based learning plan is developed, individualized to focus on each child's skill gaps and the development of new skills. A low student-teacher ratio ensures personalized attention. It takes approximately 16 hours to progress one grade level in mathematics, Dr. Wagner says, 32 hours in reading. Tutoring Club specializes in standardized test preparation — SSAT and ISEE through to PSAT, SAT and ACT, plus Regents. The next SAT course begins in early January. Hours: Monday through Thursday, from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., as needed. Sports schedules can be accommodated. A Class Above. Guaranteed.

THE RECORD-REVIEW Lourdes Serrano, Jessica Riina, Samantha Lyons and friends Tails have been wagging since Must Love Dogs opened in downtown Katonah in July 2011. Four-legged friends of all sizes and breeds can expect spa-like attention from master groomer and owner Jessica Riina. Two- to 3-hour sessions involve bathing, drying and extensive grooming of hair, skin and nails. Biodegradable shampoos and natural perfumes, homemade by Jessica from essential oils, are sensitive to canine well-being. Every dog should be groomed for looks and good health. "Groomers really know their dogs' bodies and can recognize fleas, ticks, growths and other signs of disease. When dogs are well-groomed, they not only look better, they feel better," Jessica says. The retail shop features fine specialty harnesses, leashes, jackets, toys, bones, Puppia brand products and natural skin care products including chemical-free flea and tick repellents. Excellent customer service and Jessica's animal intuition stand out: "I feel a special connection to my dogs and their owners," she says. "I love dogs, so I love what I do" — and it shows!

The function of the school is to provide a professional environment where the student learns the theory and principles (hands-on) in esthetics. We will prepare all students for their New York State esthetic written and practical board exams. Since opening, New York School of Esthetics has not raised its tuition and includes more certifications in the undergraduate program than any other school of its kind. These certifications include microdermabrasion, basic chemical peel, body treatments and teeth whitening. Graduates are prepared for entry-level positions that include working with plastic surgeons, in dermatologists' offices, day spas and laser centers. The school's advanced courses include Laser Hair Removal Certification and Advanced Makeup Artistry, both approved by the New York State Department of Education. As one student said, "I learned so much compared to other schools of esthetics and made a family rather than just friends! I graduated knowing that I am a professional with great knowledge in skin care!"

THE RECORD-REVIEW Ann Rose Simon, L.C.S.W. BabyBonds is an exciting new program developed by Scarsdale psychotherapist Ann Rose Simon, L.C.S.W. It prepares parents for the emotional challenges they will inevitably face when their baby arrives. You've read the books on pregnancy and baby care. You've signed up for Lamaze classes. But are you ready for your new role as a parent? BabyBonds is based on the idea that parenting doesn't always come naturally.

In short, BabyBonds helps baby-proof your marriage. BabyBonds is a dynamic and customized program.

"BabyBonds can help parents maximize their capacity to bond with their baby," says Simon. "It can help you be the best parents you can be." Dale M. Karp, L.C.S.W. Dale Karp is a licensed clinical social worker/psychotherapist who specializes in repairing relationships that feel stuck. Sometimes the people we love most disappoint and hurt us, leaving us feeling unsupported and disconnected. Whether the impasse is with a partner, a child or parent, my aim is to help you reconnect, turn toward one other and have a satisfying relationship. It is important to feel responsive and trusting with those we love so that when we need our loved ones most, we feel they are tightly connected to us, and they will support us. That is what "being there" for someone really means. Relationship therapy helps people get close to each other and gain the personal insight they need to live their best lives together. We will focus on personal growth and insight — so that when you ask your loved one, "Are you there for me?" you can trust that the answer is "yes." Hours: I welcome your contact.

At Metro Behavioral Health Associates Eating Disorders Centers (MBHA), we understand that recovery is a complex process. Our specialists have devoted their professional training to the treatment of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and everything in between. Since no two cases have exactly the same causes or symptoms, the ideal recovery plan for each patient is unique. "Eating disorders don't emerge overnight," says MBHA Founder and Executive Director Jennie Kramer, M.S.W., L.C.S.W. "We take a 'no stones unturned' approach, so we can get to the root causes and effect gradual change. After all, you can't take away behaviors if you don't replace them with other strategies." MBHA begins with a comprehensive psychosocial evaluation, followed by the development of an individually designed treatment plan. The center's services include individual, family and group psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, nutritional counseling, hypnotherapy and creative arts therapy, to name a few.
