Little Flippers (preschool program) 3 1/2 through 5 years
Student/Instructor Ratio (6:1)
This is the first class where children can experience gymnastics away from parental supervision. At this age, our curriculum will continue to develop motor skills through gymnastics. We also place an emphasis on building self confidence and learning how to appropriately act in a group setting of peers. Yearly lesson plans that involve unique activities will change every two weeks. This will keep children inspired and eager to learn and grow! All the gymnastic events are experienced as well as the trampoline and Tumbl Trak. A lot of our equipment is designed precisely for children in this age group. FUN is still the name of the game in our preschool program!
Must be fully potty trained to be in any Little Flipper class.
Little Jammers (introductory recreational class) 4 ½ through 6.5
Student/Instructor Ratio (7:1)
This class is designed for children who are looking for more of a challenge, but would still benefit from the playfulness of our preschool program . In this class the children will still take part in the Little Flippers lesson plans and themes , but will also be introduced to some of the Gym Jam curriculum and equipment. It’s a great class for skill building, while still having lots of FUN!
The children in this class will also be evaluated before they move on to Gym Jam, to see which level would be the best fit.
*Gymnasts must be evaluated before signing up for this class.
Must be fully potty trained to be in any Little Flipper class.
Tiny Tumblers (parent and child): 2 to 3 1/2 years
Student/Instructor Ratio (10:1)
This class is designed for our tiniest tumblers. Motor skills (both fine and gross) are developed through basic gymnastics and movement on a number of gymnastic events. Parent participation is required at this age which offers a unique bonding experience. While developing motor skills and coordination is a valued aspect of this class, the most important thing is FUN! We incorporate music, games, and dancing into our lesson plans! Most of the class time is structured but there will be many opportunities for ‘free play’ which will allow the parent to roam freely about the gym (or selected area) with their child. Aside from the FUN and physical benefits gained in this class, it is also an excellent opportunity for socialization not only between the children but for the parents as well.
