Spring Semester

January 23 - June 14, 2010

All classes are 50 minutes unless otherwise indicated.

Children are placed in classes based on their age as of January 1, 2010.

Which class is appropriate for my 3 year old?

Both the Tumblin' Tots class and Acro-Kats classes are offered for this age group. Acro-Kats is for 3 year olds ready to enter the gym on their own; following the directions of the instructor and staying with the class.

Some young 3's need a little more time in the gym with a caregiver, before moving into our Acro-Kats class. For them, we are increasing our Tumblin' Tots class in order to provide a place for gentle separation and a terrific gymnastics experience. The goal is to build their confidence and move them toward independence in the gym.

Specific separation goals and guidelines will be determined by the instructor, as the session progresses for this age group. An adult must accompany each child to all Tumblin' Tots classes.

Toddler Series

Parent/caregiver participation and enthusiasm is required in each of our three toddler classes.

Our Toddler Series is designed to incorporate the earliest aspects of physical fitness and primary development for children aged 12 months to 40 months. Special consideration is given to parental/caregiver bonding and continues throughout the series, ultimately concluding with the child's ability to separate and enter our next level of preschool gymnastics and motor skill development.
