Exciting themes, big skills and learning all in one session
That’s what we call Serious Fun
Children in this age group are highly socialised and have an increasing ability to follow more complex directions.
As their sense of independence and confidence soars, they are on the cusp of becoming self-sufficient with only an instructor.
They are able to perform more complex locomotor skill variations, gymnastics skills and beginning sports skills as they increase their
strength, speed and coordination.
A fun class for children aged 30-36 months.
Please contact The Little Gym for a full price list.
At this age, children are ready to make a huge leap: participating in a structured class without parents.
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.
A fun class for children aged 3 years old.
Please contact The Little Gym for a full price list.
During this class the children will be taking part in:
- Socialisation activities teach children how to function in a group, listen and follow directions, communicate with others, share, and take turns.
- Activities focused on emotional development build comfort in a group (without the parent), encourage risk taking and help children deal with success and failure.
- “Circuit” format ensures continual movement and minimizes waiting. Themes and theme related music make each class a fun, learning adventure.
- More challenging, developmentally appropriate gymnastics skills build strength, spacial awareness, balance, overall body coordination, and self-confidence.
- “Free play and exploration” are incorporated into the learning time on the gymnastics equipment.
- Children learn and perform gymnastics routines for the parents during Show Week

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.
A fun class for children aged 4-10 months.
Please contact The Little Gym for a full price list.
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.
Please contact The Little Gym for a full price list.
By this age, most children are moving, walking or soon to be. Whether “vertical” or “horizontal”, children now have the ability to explore their environment and, in the process, can learn to problem solve, take risks and establish a sense of independence.
They are also beginning to speak, enjoy being around other children and can start following simple directions.
Their increased dexterity, strength and more proportionate bodies allow them to learn and perform more advanced physical skills.
A fun class for children aged 10-18 months.
Please contact The Little Gym for a full price list.
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.
