Parent-Tot Classes
16 mo.-3 years
     
This 55 minute class is geared for kids who are at least 16 months old.  Children must have been walking for at least 4 months and are steady on their feet. 
     Kids up to 3 years old can participate in this class.  It is perfect for those kids that are not ready to separate.  Parents are there as an extra pair of hands to help the children and to make sure they stay with the group without wandering off. 
     We focus on gross motor skills and coordination.  The kids learn how to tumble, jump, balance, climb, and swing.  We start out with a short circle time, and then we proceed to various obstacle courses and then finish up on the trampoline.  The class ratio is 7 to 1
Separation Classes
2-3 years

    This 55 minute class is similar in structure to the parent-tot class.  The class does all of the same circuits and obstacle courses.  For many kids this is their first experience with separation.  The instructors really focus on listening, following direction, and taking turns.  The instructors really emphasis positive reinforcement making this a rewarding first experience without mom.  The class ratio is 6 to 1.

4 Year Old Classes
 

  

  This hour class is a combination of circuit, obstacle courses and “real” gymnastics.  We start to teach them forward and backward rolls as well as cartwheels.  They learn to get up on the beam the correct way and walk by themselves on the medium beams.  On bars they begin to go upside down, they do pullovers and work on strengthening their upper body.  The class ratio is 6 to 1.
Kindergarten Classes
5 year olds
        This hour class is all “real” gymnastics.  This class is a transitional class.  It helps them prepare for the hour and a half class.  The children learn how to vault.  On bars, beam and floor the instructors set up stations.  They start to do basic skills on their own.  The class ratio is 7 to 1.
