Developing a strong sense of self -confidence and eliminating the fear of failure are paramount.
Having discovered the joys of independence, they’re eager to “do what the big kids do”. But they still learn best through play “hands on” and movement activities.
Their learning environment must be one in which structure, learning, movement, and play can co-exist together.

At this age, the average infant has an awareness of their environment: noises, music, people, etc.
Their brain is developing at an extremely fast rate, taking in and processing massive amounts of information. Children at this age first learn how to roll from the back to tummy
and begin pushing their chest from the ground (4 -6 months), try to crawl (7 -9 months), and enter the pre- walking phase (10- 12 months).
Alongside these developmental milestones, infants attempt fine motor movements such as reaching and grasping for objects, waving and clapping.

Children in this age group are on the move: quicker, stronger and faster.
They’re ready to learn more complex movements in the “vertical world”: introductory sports skills, locomotor skills with perceptual challenges, jumping off raised platforms onto their feet, creative movement challenges, and beginning tumbling skills.
These toddlers also begin to develop a greater understanding of “self ” and experience feelings of pride, confidence, embarrassment, and independence.
They are also becoming great users of language, speaking and understanding more clearly.
With their newfound sense of independence, they are interested in following directions and doing things by themselves.

The average 5-6 year old is very comfortable and confident in a structured class setting.
At this age, the social aspect takes on a more important role as they become increasingly aware of each other and begin to compare themselves to and motivate their peers.
This results in very “coachable” children who are able to follow complex directions, understand detailed and technical instruction and possess a noticeable eagerness to
learn.
Physically, the average 5-6 year old demonstrates a greater degree of body control, having the way for more advanced gymnastics skills.
A fun class for children aged 5 year olds.

Children in this age group are now displaying marked growth in their social, emotional and physical self-confidence and self-esteem.
They are able to handle more complex directions and have noticeably longer attention spans.
Physically, they have mastered most all of the basic locomotor movements, including skipping. Because of their movement experience, they are noticeably stronger, more agile, more coordinated, and have a broad base of gymnastics skills.
This sets the stage for considerable skill growth in gymnastics
- Tumbling skills, preceded by locomotor movements, are introduced and mastered (galloping, cartwheels, run, jump, forward roll, etc.).
- Multiple skills are taught simultaneously, reinforcing the children’s ability to handle more complex directions.
- More challenging gymnastics skills help children become stronger, more agile, more coordinated, and more self-confident.
