Friendships provide children with so much more than just fun playmates! In fact, friends are essential for healthy psychological development. Many experts believe that a child’s ability to make friends is the single biggest predictor of their success later in life. Some even claim that it’s more important than IQ and grades.

 

Programs at The Little Gym are purposefully designed to help children become “Citizen Kids!” by improving their social and emotional development. Songs, games, and activities focus on listening, sharing, and taking turns. Experiential learning activities help foster creativity, allow friends to solve problems together, and let them pass on knowledge.

 

Throughout the School Year, we have special themed weeks to celebrate your child’s friendships. Encourage  your child to bring one of their friends to share in the fun here any week that works best for you. To make the invitation even more special, click here to download some free print and color cards that your child can give to their friends.

 

If you know someone that would love The Little Gym, invite them to register for an introductory class. We will need a waiver signed by the parent of the "friend" you are bringing to class and of course the parent in attendance, as well, so they can see how much fun their child is having along with yours.  You'll receive 100 free loyalty points when your referral becomes a member. So share the smiles, fun and high 5's with people all around you. It's our way of saying thank you for spreading the word about The Little Gym!

 

Join The Club! So Do We!

You're invited to join a cool new club at The Little Gym. This club has no secret handshake. In fact, it's open to all preschool-age members 3- 5 yrs. All that's required for admittance is a healthy curiosity and sense of wonder about the world.

Each three-hour WonderKids Club session combines an hour-long Funnybugs or Giggle Worms gymnastics class with active learning and instructor-led, immersive play in the Multi-Purpose Room. Arts and crafts, creative songs, story time and exploration centers all reinforce the week's Learning Unit and theme.

Clubs are offered:

Tues.. 9:05 AM - 12:05 PM and Fri. 9:10 AM-!2:10 PM.

Call now to enroll your child in their extended learning experience.

Teeth are chattering, jackets are zipping, and hot cocoas are pouring. It's definitely getting colder out there, but here at The Little Gym of Abington, kids are staying toasty warm. Their bodies are in motion and their minds are too. Kids in The Little Gym Parent/Child classes are exploring their worlds, gaining independence and trying new skills. The structured lessons of our Pre-K gymnastics programs are helping kids with listening skills and following directions while also emphasizing balance and coordination. Our Kindergarten level gymnastics kids are learning to work in groups and cooperate because we know controlling emotions is as important as body control.
 
All the Flips,Twisters, Aerials, Jets and Hot Shots of our Grade School Gymnastics programs are strengthening their bodies and getting a springboard (pun intended) of confidence. Plus, our Dance kids are twirling like snowflakes, Sports Skills kids are improving arm strength for throwing snowballs, and our Karate students are practically chopping firewood with their bare hands (okay, a slight exaggeration). Check out our Facebook page for some really cool videos of our kids having as much fun as summer vacation, no matter what the thermometer says. LIKE us at The Little Gym of Abington under "pages".
 
Don't forget- We also have great winter day camps coming up. And if you want to squeeze in a date night (or maybe some holiday shopping without the kids around), we'll be having another Parent's Survival Night on Saturday, December 17th 6-9 PM.
 
Finally, remember that giving someone some Serious Fun is an excellent gift. We have gift certifiactes available if you want to give the unique gift of skill building and Three-Dimensional Learning.
 
Til' next time,
 
Your friends in fitness, fun and fundamentals at The Little Gym of Abington
