Yesterday was a day to reflect and give thanks for everyone and everything in my life.  Of course it reminded me of The Little Gym and how thankful I am to have the opportunity to be a part of the life of so many children and families, but it also made me realize how thankful I am for having such a committed team of instructors at The Little Gym of Summerville. They all truly care about children, they appreciate the differences that children have, and they all want to be able to make an impact in the life of every child in their class. 

I know they are committed because of the time they spend preparing for classes. They study for their classes EVERY week.  In case you didn’t know, every class at TLG has a lesson plan that is about 7 to 10 pages long.  If an instructor teaches a Birds class, a Beasts class, a Funny Bugs class, and a Jazzy Bugs dance class, that’s about 40 pages of lesson plans that have to be studied and learned EVERY WEEK!  Since we have a new theme and new skills every week, they have to start all over again EVERY Monday and learn 40 different pages of lesson plans for the new week to come.   Some of our instructors teach about 9 different types of programs every week – yes, that’s 90 plus pages of lessons they master EVERY week!

I am so proud of my team of instructors!  I don’t tell them often enough how grateful and thankful I am for all of their hard work and commitment to teaching great classes, for keeping the gym clean and safe, and for helping nurture children into happy, confident people. 

“Thank You team TLGS!  I am proud and honored to be a part of such an amazing team of instructors!”

Sincerely,

Kathy
