This week in the Toddler Gym…
This week in the Toddler Gym we are celebrating Farm week! Our kids are having a great time using our imaginations to pretend to be cowboys/cowgirls on a farm! We are focusing on donkey kicks, hand-eye coordination and walking like farm animals!
This week’s sensory station is our farm puzzle!
We rode our horsey through corn maze to practice our gallops!
Carrying our “cowboy lasso” across the stepping stones to catch the cow!
This week in the Jungle Gym…
This week in the Jungle Gym, we are celebrating farm week too! Our students have been showing so much growth this spring! We are working on our strength on bars this week, as well as our handstands and donkey kicks! As the weather gets nicer, our kids have been so excited to talk about all of their fun outdoor activities! We are pretending to be farm animals during our stretching time and even having farm animal relay races!
For rings this week we are walking our toes up the wedge and doing a monkey flip backwards!
Our beam station! Walking down and jumping into the cowboy’s lasso!
Perfecting our handstand form by walking our toes up and looking at the piggy!

About our “Totally Toddler” Program
Walking to 3 1/2 Years (42 months)
Totally Toddler is a movement exploration and education program specifically designed for children who are just beginning to walk through 42 months. Through instructor-led guided play, students are exposed to activities that build strength, coordination, spatial awareness, social skills, and independence. Our toddler gym, perfectly sized for this age group, provides a fun and safe environment for our youngest students to begin learning gymnastics and celebrate exciting discoveries.
About our “Jungle Gym” Program
3 1/2 to 5 Years
Come tumble in the jungle with us! Jungle Gym classes offer preschoolers 3 1/2 - 5 years old an awesome opportunity to develop a positive outlook on physical fitness and learn gymnastics in a safe, fun learning environment. Creative circuit-based lesson plans combined with educational themes focus your child’s natural energy while developing strength, flexibility, and coordination in addition to promoting cognitive and social development. In addition to learning beginning gymnastics on all men’s and women’s artistic gymnastics events and trampolines, Jungle Gym classes teach other sports-related skills and prepare children for the academic environment. By using scaled down equipment and progressive, age-appropriate development, Jungle Gym classes are an enjoyable experience for every preschool child.
