Mommy & Me
Our very popular
& fun
instructor-led gymnastics classes designed for toddlers aged 18 mos –
3 years and
their mom or dad. This
50-minute class brings the parents onto the floor amidst the excitement.
A small student/teacher ratio is kept for personal attention. We
have small preschool-sized equipment for children this age including:
rings, bars, ladders and slide. Kids also love using our zip line and
trampoline in this class. The
instructor will set up different obstacle
courses each week especially designed to help with locomotion skills and
hand-eye coordination.
SuperKids!
A 60-minute, energetic, fun, gymnastics class
for preschool and kindergarten-aged kids. Children,
ages 3-6 participate in this class while their parents watch from the seating
area. The kids get lots of personal attention and lots of turns on
the apparatus such as balance beam, rings, trampoline, tumble track, and zip
line. The instructor will set up an
obstacle course designed to teach basic gymnastics skills. Kids will also improve their locomotion skills, hand-eye
coordination, social skills, taking turns and listening skills, all while they
are having fun, getting exercise, and learning gymnastics!
