PRESCHOOL GYMNASTICS

Please enroll children based on their age as of October 1, 2007.  3 year olds may start Tumbleweeds once they reach their 3rd birthday.

Baby Gym  (co-ed ages 0-12 months)
Start your little one on the path to exploring the outside world in a comfortable, secure setting.  Through the help of our staff, you will nurture your little one from the earliest motions of massage and rocking through the development of rolling, sitting, clapping, crawling, standing and beyond!  Baby Gym classes incorporate music and movement at the most basic level, including post-natal exercises for Mom (although Dads are welcome, too.)  Join us for this special bonding time filled with fun & friendships.
30 Minute Class:  Tues.  9:30

Baby Talk (co-ed ages 0-12 months)  free!
Please join us for a relaxing, informal time together.  We’ll sit with other new parents, discuss the topics that interest you most & make new friends!   No Charge!
1st Tuesday of the month starting in September @ 10:00

Parent/Tots  (co-ed ages 1-4)
Quality instruction with parent supervision. 
Our Parent/Tot classes give toddlers a head start in fitness and social development.  Through the help of our staff, you can teach your child to explore the world around him in new and exciting ways.  Children are developing rapidly during these first years and early development stimulates learning skills.  Your child may roll down a padded incline, swing on tiny bars, possibly stop for a game of hoops then, it’s off to the trampoline or the ever popular “pit”!  Help your child boldly go where no toddler has gone before!
40 Minute Classes:  Mon. 9:40, 7:00, Tues. 10:10, 6:00, Wed. 9:40, 10:30, 7:00,   Thurs. 10:30, Sat. 9:10

Tumbleweeds  (co-ed ages 3-5)
Learning through FUN is the goal of our Tumbleweeds!  Our professionally structured program is designed to develop motor and social skills, but our Tumbleweeds would never know it!  In addition to gymnastics, students are exposed to basic skills in soccer, tennis, football, golf and more.  By exposing your child to a variety of skills, we are laying the base for a positive athletic future, no matter what the sport.  Tumbleweeds also learn social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and cooperation, which are quite valuable for someone looking ahead to Kindergarten!
50 Minute Classes:  Mon. 10:30, 12:45, 1:45, 6:00, Tues. 11:00, 12:45, 7:00, Wed. 10:30, 12:45, 1:45, 4:00, 5:00, 6:00, Thurs. 9:30, 12:45, 1:45, 3:00, 6:00, 7:00, Sat. 10:00, 11:00
