Programs
Tall and Small 1 & 2 is a 45-minute class that uses music, games, and play to create a fun-filled learning environment with a tall person there to help! This program offers important opportunities to develop fine and gross motor skills while exploring all of the different ways a body can move. Students will explore fundamental movement patterns on all of our gymnastic equipment, including our mini “Just for Kids” apparatus. These movements include jumping, hanging, climbing, balancing, and supporting. This class also introduces social skills such as listening, sharing, taking turns, and developing friendships.

Explore 1
Our aim with Explore 1 is to help our 3-year-old students thrive in an independent gymnastics’ environment. We do this by offering a lower participant-to-coach ratio, which helps create a more focused class setting and allows for more individualized attention.
Each 45-minute class begins with an interactive group warm-up activity, often set to music. This is followed by various circuits around the gym on all of our gymnastic equipment, including our “Just for Kids” sized gymnastic apparatus. Students will work on attaining target skills such as forward rolls on a cheese mat, unassisted beam walks, mini cartwheels, mini handstands, assisted supports on the bars, and controlled bouncing and safety stops on the trampoline. Students will also work on improving their balance, hand-eye coordination, agility, and flexibility.
Another important focus of our Explore -1 program is developing essential “good citizen skills”, which include listening to and following simple directions, learning to trust a teacher, waiting in line for turns, and staying with a group.
