Sea Turtles: 3 years
Children at this age need to learn confidence when separated from their parents. They are learning the value of sharing, friendship, cooperation, and being part of a group. In this hour-long class, parents will watch their child participate in class from the comfort of our gym viewing area. Your child will go into class with other children and learn independence and gain self confidence. Certified instructors will continue to develop your child’s motor skills using gymnastics in safe, fun, and exciting ways. They will work on mastering skills such as balance, running, skipping, galloping, tumbling, and flexibility through games, music, and the use of our child-sized gymnastics equipment. We will begin working on monkey jumps, donkey kicks, forward and backward rolls as well as beam and bar work.
