Parent/Child Gymnastics Program
Our parent/child gymnastics program teaches basic large movements using gymnastics fundamentals and apparatus. Parent participation is encouraged as we build your childs confidence.
Preschool Gymnastics Program
The YMCA preschool gymnastics program will provide a fun, safe environment for children ages 3-6 years to learn and explore all gymnastics equipment: floor, bars, beam, and vault. Each class emphasizes gymnastic skills like balance, strength, spatial awareness, and flexibility. For these younger budding gymnastis, we make sure the classes are also high-energy fun and age specific.
Descriptions of Parent/Child & Preschool Gymnastics Classes
Toddlers will explore their environment and, in the process, learn to problem solve, take “safe” risks, and establish a sense of independence. Increased dexterity and strength allow them to learn and perform more advanced physical skills through exploration of fun, colorful gym equipment. Parent must attend class with the child.
Toddlers will develop a greater understanding of “self” and experience feelings of independence! They are ready to learn problem solving and perform on their own through group activities. Toddlers can explore and observe with a focus on locomotor skills, jumping off raised platforms onto their feet, and creative movement challenges. Adult must attend class with the child.
