The Little Gym of Greenville/Spartanburg has applied this research to its mission to help children develop their motor skills through a professionally developed gymnastics curriculum. Not only do children learn to enhance their movement, coordination and balance, they also develop self-confidence by participating in programs designed to be fun, interactive and non-competitive at this early stage of life.
Parents report that their children don’t even realize they’re learning because they’re having so much fun. At The Little Gym, they learn to listen, follow directions, interact with other children emotionally and socially, and develop their physical capabilities one cartwheel or somersault at a time.
The Little Gym was founded in 1976. Since that time, the company has seen tremendous growth and success worldwide with its curriculum-based motor skills programs targeting children from four months to 12 years old. The Little Gym serving the Greenville/Spartanburg area opened in early 2006 using the same successful formula to benefit families and children.
Each week, classes are offered with many kinds of themes such as "My, How We Have Grown, Learn Safe, Fall Safe, and Safely Sport your Tot" that engage children and teach them new motor skills. The curriculum simulates a recipe, as children progress through the program, with just the right amount of new ingredients and activities being added to strengthen and build upon what they’ve previously learned.
Highly trained instructors supervise all activities including tumbling, balance beam exercises, mats and the us of other gymnastics equipment. Balls, scarves and bubbles also are used to help younger children develop skills like hand-eye coordination. In parent/child classes, parents are encouraged to become involved with the activities along with their children.
The non-competitive environment is intentional at The Little Gym and provides a level of comfort to which children immediately respond. They are not afraid to participate or try new exercises with instructors rewarding their efforts with consistent, positive feedback. Children thrive in this type of positive environment with success guaged in terms of self-confidence gained as skills are learned and fundamentals of a skill developed. By using this approach, children are more ready to participate in the competitive world of school and life in general.
