It's all about the kids! That's what we believe here at The Little Gym of Montclair.
We offer progressively structured classes and a positive learning enviornment. We strive to create opportunities for your child to try new things and build self-confidence. Our trained instructors nurture happy, confident kids through a range of classes such as parent/child classes and gymnastics, plus fun extras like parties, camps, and more. We want your child to learn to love the gym and come running in here with a smile on their face every time they come through our door! We give the kids lots of positive attention and we love it when you help us out with that at home. We also try to provide a clean, safe environment where kids can be themselves and feel comfortable around both children and grown-ups.
The Little Gym of Montclair, our environment is fun, but our purpose is serious. That’s why we embrace a proprietary philosophy called Three-Dimensional Learning, in which physical activity is a conduit for nurturing your whole child. The Three-Dimensional Learning approach to skill development means that every class we offer fosters growth in three holistic dimensions—Brain Boost!, Get Moving! and Citizen Kid!. Read on to see how each dimension of learning helps your child grow into a well-rounded, well-adjusted super kid.
Developing strength, balance, flexibility, agility and coordination
Nurturing listening skills, imagination, concentration and decision-making
Promoting sharing, teamwork, cooperation and leadership
An innovative educator, musician and kinesiologist, Robin Wes envisioned a nurturing place where children could explore their physical development, while also growing socially, emotionally and intellectually. He opened the first The Little Gym in 1976 in Bellevue, Washington and infused those early classes with the same positive, non-competitive spirit that characterizes us today. Forty-five years later, children at The Little Gym of Montclair experience the benefits of Serious Fun.
We’ve teamed up with some of the most respected names in children’s toys and entertainment to enrich the experience of classes, parties, camps and more at The Little Gym.
The Little Gym Big Hearts is a philanthropic and sustainability initiative dedicated to positively impacting our communities to ensure all children, today and in the future, have a safe and healthy place to live and grow.
