Parent/Child Classes

From Somersaults to Self-Esteem
(4 months to 3 years old)

Beginning at infancy, our progressive 
curriculum and music nurture your little
one’s growing abilities. Our instructor
serves as your guide, as you and your
child work together on basic motor and
social skills. Together, you will practice
a variety of gentle moves that help
develop your child’s balance, body awareness and coordination.
And the accompanying music helps your child develop rhythm while stimulating the parts of the brain involved in reading and math.

Age-appropriate gymnastics are incorporated to increase strength, flexibility and coordination as they grow. And early socialization and cognitive exercises are introduced. All designed to prepare them for the months and years to come.

Just as a somersault teaches a child to fall safely and get up quickly, our Parent/Child classes prepare them for an active childhood and a healthy active life.

Our Parent/Child Classes focus on:

  • Increasing physical strength, flexibility and coordination through gymnastics concepts
  • Awareness of spatial and perceptual concepts
  • Self-expression
  • Greater independence
  • Early socialization
  • Following directions and cooperating
  • Sharing and taking turns
  • Accepting challenges and new places
  • Developing Independence
  • Comfortably separating from parents
  • Feeling proud of accomplishments
  • Knowing colors and numbers
  • Preparation for pre-school and kindergarten

We have four fun classes for our youngest members:

  • Bugs - infants 4 months to 10 months
  • Birds - infant/toddlers 10 months to 19 months
  • Beasts - toddlers 19 months to 2-1/2 years
  • Super Beasts - toddlers 2-1/2 years to 3 years

A great place to start!
