Pre-Primary gymnastics
Our Pre-Primary classes are specifically designed for children between the ages of 18 months and 5 years old. These classes are an excellent way to introduce young children to the world of gymnastics and physical fitness.
Our program is unique in that it not only focuses on gymnastics instruction, but also includes general motor skill and social development. We believe that these areas are just as important as gymnastics skills and should be incorporated into every class. Our experienced instructors work with each child to ensure that they are not only learning new skills, but also developing socially and physically.

The curriculum for our Pre-Primary classes is broken down into achievable steps that aid in the learning of a skill. We understand that young children can become easily discouraged or overwhelmed by a skill, so we provide plenty of opportunity for successful performance. This helps to build confidence and a love for gymnastics in each child.
If you're looking for a fun and engaging way to introduce your child to gymnastics, our Pre-Primary classes are the perfect fit. Our experienced instructors are dedicated to helping each child develop physically, socially, and emotionally through gymnastics instruction.
