Each class, your child will experience a warm up activity to songs with movement, warm-ups and stretches. Unique tumbling apparatus designed for the preschooler is brought in each week. These include incline mats, panel mats, cartwheel mats, vaulting springboard, preschool bars and floor balance beams.
Cooperative skill development through the use of parachutes, balloons, balls, scarves, hoops, and other various items are incorporated into the lesson plans. Children advance individually through USA Gymnastics skill progressions.
