Tiny Tot Fitness
Ages 3 to 4
While based on tumbling and gymnastics, Tiny Tots are also instructed on motor movement skills, basic dance, exercise, jump rope, etc. Schedule includes 5-minute warm-up, usually with music, four 10-minute rotations that change weekly and a 5-minute closing activity. Besides the physical benefits, the children also learn important social skills and self-confidence. These classes are taught during the daytime when nothing can interfere with this specially designed program. We also offer some preschool gymnastics classes in the evening, but we highly recommend the daytime classes.
Mom and Tot Program
This class is for children who need that special one-on-one attention that only their Mothers (or Fathers) can provide. The format of the class is designed around the limited attention span of this age. There is a combination of three group activities separated by two “Adventure Times”. Mom and Tot both will enjoy the fun and the friendships.
