Next week is a really big deal at The Little Gym: It's Show Week! We can't wait to see your kids show off how much they've grown this year!

Join us during your child's regular class for a chance to see everything they've learned put into action!! You'll be amazed by how much strength, flexibility, and independence your little one has gained!

Show Week is a great confidence builder for kids and a great photo op for parents, so come prepared to take off your shoes... and don't forget to bring your camera!

It's Time to Enroll for Our Core Season!!

Our core season kicked off on Monday, but don't worry: it's not too late to enroll!

Wondering what we're all about?

For starters, we emphasize serious fun. What's serious fun? Well, if you were to peak in on a Little Gym class you'd probably just notice the fun part: giggling, tumbling, bouncing, and playing.

What you might not notice right away is that our students aren't just having fun; they're working hard at building confidence, listening skills, creative thinking, social skills, and more. Not to mention that these little gymnasts are developing strength, flexibility, and coordination.

The benefit of all of this work extends far beyond the Little Gym classroom. In fact, next week we'll write about how taking a Little Gym class can help your child be more successful at school.

Speaking of school, unlike the seasonal sessions we used to offer, our new core season lasts the length of the school year.

In case you're wondering, we offer flexible payment options. You can choose from our single payment, bi-payment, or automatic monthly options.

Go ahead and enroll now for the whole season or sign up for a trial class and see for yourselves what serious fun is all about! As a reminder, call (203) 655-1235 or register online.

The Little Gym's Camp is Serious Fun!

There are so many benefits to camp at The Little Gym that it's hard to list them all, but we'll try to share a few here.

Enrollment in the camp is flexible. Enroll your child for one day or multiple days, one week or multiple weeks, morning or afternoon. Whatever your schedule, our camp fits into it.
Our camp is not weather-dependent. Rain or shine, cold or hot, you can count on camp at The Little Gym.
It's fun! Our themes and curriculum ensure that your child will have a great time. This week's theme is Jolly Roger's Hidden Treasure, and campers are enjoying searching for hidden treasure, walking the plank on the balance beam, seeing their counselors dressed up as pirates, and more.
We get your kids moving. There is essentially no down time at our camp.
Kids learn new skills. Whether they're developing gymnastics skills such as handstands or social skills such as sharing, our campers are always growing and learning.
Our camp builds creativity. From our themes to our activities, we encourage campers to use their imagination.

What does a typical Little Gym camp look like? Our camp incorporates free play, circle time, group activities and games, skill-building, crafts, and snack. All of the days' activities center on a weekly theme. For instance, since this week's theme is Jolly Roger's Hidden Treasure, one gymnastics skill is Popsicle Pirate Handstands, and another is Walking the Plank on the balance beam.

As you can see, there are a lot of benefits to enrolling your child in our flexible and fun Anytime Summertime Kids Camp.

Happy Birthday to the Little Gym!

Welcome to the Little Gym of Darien's new blog. It's the Little Gym's 35th birthday, and we're celebrating with Something Big: a Makeover! Everything from our decor to our curriculum is being improved. This blog is only a small part of the changes you can look forward to. What else can you anticipate?

Serious Fun: Our new and improved curriculum emphasizes Three Dimensial Learning with a focus on the following areas of development: Get Moving, Brain Boost, and Citizen Kid. Visit this video for a fantastic live description of the improved curriculum.

A New Look: Look for a new paint finish, posters, and more, all of which will be showcased in an open house to be held late this summer.

Core Season: Rather than seasonal sessions, we are now featuring one core season that lasts the length of the school year, plus a summer session.

Flexible payment options: Whether you prefer a single payment, bi-payment, or automatic monthly payment, you can now choose the tuition option that best fits your needs.

Friendly and Experienced Staff: Expect the same quality of instructors you've grown to trust.

Somethig Big is coming to The Little Gym, and we're glad you'll be celebrating with us.

Announcements:

Our spring session wrapped with a successful show week. We were so proud of the kids as they showcased the many skills they have developed over the last few months.
