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.
