The Little Gym of Darien and Westport is thrilled to announce the opening of our Ridgefield center at 96 Danbury Road. The official grand opening will take place on August 28 with an open house from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., but we’re already booking for the 2011-2012 season.
So, who is The Little Gym? The technical answer is that we’re a premier developer of physical skills in children worldwide. But we’re so much more than that! Our curriculum-based programs help kids build the confidence and skills they need at each stage of childhood. Participants in the Little Gym’s programs develop motor skills, social skills, listening skills, creative thinking, and confidence. Sounds like a lot of work, right? But what’s really cool is that the kids don’t realize they’re working; they just see The Little Gym as a place to have fun, laugh, and make new friends.
What do we do at The Little Gym? If you were to peak in on a Little Gym class, what you would see is a group of kids having a lot of fun. You’d see bouncing, tumbling, hanging, and jumping. But it isn’t just fun. It’s serious fun! Each activity has a purpose. Kids may think they’re “walking the plank” on the balance beam, but what they’re really doing is building their balance, confidence, and imagination.
Why should you enroll your child at The Little Gym? Not only will your child have fun at The Little Gym, but he or she will develop skills that will help lay the groundwork for success in all areas of life – even school! We like to call ourselves the jelly to school’s peanut butter. Our instructors are experienced, friendly, and fun, and they emphasize developmental skills like sharing, taking turns, listening, and following directions – all crucial for success in school.
"Our nurturing and supportive environment is an ideal place for local children to build their motor skills and their confidence," Erica Newman, the owner of the Ridgefield facility, points out. "The end result will be happy kids who are secure in their interactions at home, at play and in the classroom."
Speaking of Erica Newman, you’ll be in good hands at The Little Gym of Ridgefield. As the owner of both the Darien and Westport locations, Erica has been with The Little Gym for over seven years, so it’s safe to say that she is an experienced Growth & Giggles Guru.
Plus, we have a number of classes throughout the week to ensure that we have one that fits your schedule. Classes are designed for children between the ages of four months and 12 years and will be taught from a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on weekdays, and from 8:15 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.
We’re also a great place to host a birthday party!
