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. Please contact The Little Gym for a full price list.

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. Please contact The Little Gym for a full price list.

There are no prerequisite skills for this class, so the skill range may vary greatly. Children in this age range are still highly motivated by fun and love to play and pretend. While they are interested in learning gymnastics, they are still developing confidence in their skills and need opportunities in which they can experience success. • To accommodate the variations in skill level, instructors are trained to provide individualised instruction so that every child is challenged and successful. • Challenging gymnastics skills are introduced, reviewed and mastered to build body strength, ability, coordination, and confidence. • Playful, fun-based themes are periodically implemented Our Flips/Hotshots class is suitable for children aged 6-12 years old.

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. 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.

At this age, children are ready to make a huge leap: participating in a structured class without parents. Developing a strong sense of self -confi dence 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 Please contact The Little Gym for a full price list.

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.
