1 hour, 3-4 years, some parental assistance required
Purpose: Children will learn in a more challenging setting by introducing independence from the adults. This is a continuation of Gym-a-Tots.
This action packed class starts with a warm-up to get the children active and to stretch their muscles. By using easy to follow circuits (to keep the children moving), and the large gymnastics apparatus (bars, beam, floor, vault, rope, trampoline, rings and foam pit) set the stage for skills to be learned each week. Gymnastics terminology such as tuck, pike and straddle are introduced and reviewed each class. Every child will be challenged to his/her level of ability. Success is achieved every class no matter how small or large the discovery. We encourage children that are new to the program and are 3-3.6 to try the Gym-a-Tot program first.
