The GymKids Gymnastic Program consists of five different class groupings for boys and girls two through six years old and a gym/ballet combination class. Children participate in activities that enhance their physical, emotional and social development. We incorporate learning and social skills with locomotor and gymnastic skills to stimulate and motivate the "whole child", not just his or her muscles. We maintain a low student/teacher ratio to ensure that every child remains actively engaged throughout the entire class.
After a warm-up and stretching focused on strength, flexibility and coordination, children are introduced to basic tumbling and gymnastic skills on the bars, balance beam and vault. We incorporate equipment that is age and skill-appropriate for preschool boys and girls. Lesson plans often incorporate balls, hoola hoops, Frisbees, and parachute. Children have an opportunity to bounce on the in-ground trampoline or Tumble Trak and explore climbing ropes, a mini rock wall and a zip line, as well as a large free foam pit.
The qualified, experienced and United States Gymnastic Association Safety Certified staff is led by Gerry Woolcock, GymKids Program Director.
