Pre-School
Pre-School Gymnastics
Our curriculum teaches skills progressively to meet the needs of each individual child. Children from three to five years of age are instructed using circuit training. Each class is designed around a specific gymnastics event incorporating climbing and loco-motor challenges as well as level appropriate gymnastics skills.
The Olympic gymnastic events include balance beam, tumbling, uneven bars and vaulting. Trampoline skills are also an important part of the class curriculum. This class format allows for continuous movement by the student during class time as well as giving the teacher the flexibility to work with each child individually.
Our building block system allows each preschooler to advance at their own pace. Here are the different levels offered in our preschool program:
