Parent Tot classes- 12 months to 35 months.

Class ratio: Up to 10:1 student teacher ratio. Class description: One 45 minute class packed full of creative movement (utilizing ribbons and other age appropriate props), a quality movement experience with a focus on gymnastics moves. It is important to create a sense of familiarity for students. We will do this by setting up circuits, which the teacher will transition the students into the gym area. Stations will be set up to facilitate backwards and forwards rolling, upper body strength, body control and coordination. In a safe environment your child will begin an early gymnastics curriculum including fitness, shapes, rolling, upright balance, locomotion, inverted balance and bridging. Hidden within this curriculum are cartwheels, handstands, leaping, roundoffs, and many more basic gymnastics skills. Your job as a parent is to stay with the child and work with the “emphasis” of each station. The teacher will be working to gain your child’s confidence and provide helpful instruction while you “play” with your child. Each week the class will end in the music area with each child receiving a stamp/sticker and a coloring page and plenty applause from you. The 45 minute class is $50 a month.

GymTots 24 months-36 months – 5:1 student/teacher ratio.

Our 2 year olds get their own 30 minute class without parent or caregiver. They are learning independence and how to relate to another adult and children their own age. The class is directed toward developing social skills, coordination, balance, and gymnastics fundamentals. We incorporate music, numbers, colors and imagination in our lessons. Our lesson plans include activities that enhance hand-eye coordination and loco-motor skills. Each class will include warm-up time with music and movement, circuits, floor activities, vault, bars and beam. Sometimes you will see balloons, bubbles, balls and Frisbees. They will also jump on the trampoline and play in the foam pit. Playing with a purpose has never been so much fun or so rewarding. The cost is $40.00 monthly.

Three year old classes – 5:1 student/teacher ratio.

Your 3 year old now has a 1 hour class without parent or caregiver. The GAA program is designed around the concept of �building blocks� or progressions. These progressions are documented by the use of skill cards in classes beginning at the age of 3 and up. Your child will receive a skill poster that correlates to monthly evaluation cards. The evaluation cards are distributed in class during our monthly skill evaluation known as Check Off Week. A 3 year old class would include music, movement, circuits, and all of the events. Your child will walk on the beams, swing on the bars, vault, tumble, jump on the trampoline and get a workout in the foam pit. With the 3 year old in mind all lesson plans will be based on developmental milestones and include activities that will enhance independence, social skills, coordination, balance, listening and memory skills. The cost is $60.00 monthly.
