PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
Super-Totnastics
Super-Totnastics (24-36 Months) “In this program, listening and comprehension skills improve as children are exposed to basic gymnastics instruction. Parental involvement is gradually decreased through activities that help build the children’s confidence. This program also helps with the sometimes difficult task of separating from Mommy and Daddy. Parents will also enjoy the benefit of social interactions with other moms and dads.”
Stars & Tykes
Stars & Tykes (3-4 Yrs) “Students receive encouraging positive reinforcement to help them develop basic gymnastics expertise needed to develop future gymnastics skills on all apparatus. This class is also designed to build self-esteem and further develop the beginnings of your child’s independence. Running, jumping and gymnastics skills are taught using safe, state-of-the-art gymnastics equipment.”
