Parent and Toddler

The Parent and Toddlers group, ages 0-5 years, experience thrilling moments in the gym that range from rolling on mats to obstacle courses. The tots are encouraged to crawl, jump, and climb from station to station. The objectives of the classes are to improve basic motor patterns and are simple to take part in. Child and parent share all of this excitement as they experience learning through play.

Generally, a child will benefit from gymnastics classes regardless of the age they are when they begin, because they experience challenges and new skills as they mature. In the gym environment they can experience these challenges in a soft and safe environment. In addition to the bond that forms through play with their parent, grandparent or nanny, is the opportunity to socialise with other children of similar ages. Sharing, following simple directions and social skill development are all-important aspects of our Parent & Toddler class.

Parents often ask us when to start their child at gym classes. Children develop their fundamental movement skills between the ages of 2 and 5 and each stage of a youngster's development presents critical learning periods; learning their ABCs - Agility, Balance and Co-ordination. However, children as young as 6 months have enjoyed the environment, and have found the soft areas good to practice their wriggling skills!!
