Our GymTotz program is a series
of pre-school gymnastics classes that meet once a week.
The curriculum is designed to introduce basic body positions, movements,
and terms to help with spatial awareness. Through imaginative
play and movement exploration the child will develop physical readiness
in a fun and exciting way. Each level builds upon the skills
of the earlier classes, to help the child develop more strength, flexibility,
confidence and independence.
Are you having a hard time finding
activities for your 10-18 month old? Let the Fun Begin! Fitness
begins with a child’s first steps. This parent participation class
fosters language and self expression while developing physical and
social skills in a safe environment. In addition to developing
body awareness and large motor skills, it teaches the student how
to function better in group activities.
This is the child’s first “independent” program. This is a creative movement program where students are able to learn
at their own pace. After a movement warm-up, the children explore
obstacle courses and assorted work stations using virtually every
piece of equipment to aid in development of tumbling, coordination,
balance, and strength. This class is not only fun for little
ones; it also gives them what they need to get a head start on learning. Gross and fine motor skills, basic coordination, listening skills
and interactive play are just a few of the things to enjoy.
During every weekly 55 minute
class, the student works on tumbling, strength, hand/eye and foot/eye
coordination, balance, flexibility, and social interaction. The class
starts with movement warm-up followed by a gymnastics exploration
time on bars, beam, trampolines, rings, wedges and mats. Safety is always a priority, so each set-up is geared towards the
size and attention span of the student. The preschooler will
enjoy learning in a playful way with the help of music and games.
This class enhances coordination, listening skills and of course taking
turns and interactive play.
