Pre-school Classes:

Our preschool members develop a passion for movement and fitness, while learning valuable social skills in a fun, safe, and positive, family-friendly environment.

1,2 & U                                       18 mo. and older

This is a semi-structured program for children 18 months or older accompanied by a parent or guardian at least 18 years old.  This class is great for developing your child’s listening skills, learning how to take turns, and developing hand-eye coordination and other motor skills.  One parent/guardian will join their child in a fun-filled class, while a trained coach will instruct parents in teaching their child the fundamentals of gymnastics.  Class begins with a group stretch, and proceeds through a set of stations on a variety of gymnastics apparatus.

Little Leapers                             Minimum of 3 yrs and older

Little Leapers learn basic body positions and fundamental motor skills through activities and creative movement.  Participant must be potty-trained (no pull-ups) and will be introduced into the big gym occasionally. In this program, children will put their listening skills to good use!  Following a 10-minute stretch, Little Leapers will move from station to station with the instructor rotating to help each child.  Ratio 5:1

Tiny Tumblers*                           4 yrs and older

In this class, students are introduced to basic body positions, fundamental motor skills, progressions, and gymnastics terminology through activities and creative movement.  *Little Leaper skills and Tiny Tumbler skills may seem very similar to the naked eye, however this is a instructor-recommended class: participants must have mastered all skills taught in Little Leapers must be evaluated by their current instructor before enrollment.  Ratio 6:1

Junior Jumpers*                         4 years and older

This program incorporates fundamental skills and progressions with an emphasis on strength, flexibility and coordination through activities and creative movement. *This is also an instructor-recommended program: this class is learning advanced skills and must have already mastered skills the prior levels.  Participants must be evaluated by their current instructor before enrolling in this class, and students new to our facility can arrange for an evaluation prior to enrollment.  Ratio 8:1

 

In our preschool gym, it is important to note that we only do an obstacle course on the last week of each session.  All other weeks are designed with specific stations.  Participants will be assigned a station and will remain at that station while the instructor visits each station and helps each child before asking the class to rotate to a new station.  This provides more repetition, one-on-one instruction, and encourages children to learn independence, patience, and focus. Each class goes out into the big gym every week, alternating weeks in the pit and on the trampolines.
