Gymnastics/Cheer Program

PARENT and ME ENRICHMENT (12 months to 30 months)
The parent/toddler class focuses on a variety of activities including dancing, games, basic movement, musical/singing activities, and toddler sign language. Dance incorporates physical movement with teacher direction, while exercising. Basic movements, such as experimenting with gymnastics equipment increases toddler balance and body control. The use of musical activities, including singing will also help accelerate toddler social skills and increase social confidence. Lastly, time will be spent teaching toddler sign language. Research has shown that signing with babies actually enhances communication skills and intellectual development. The parent/toddler class teaches sign language to enable infants and toddlers to communicate before they have the ability to verbally communicate. This eliminates parent/toddler communication barriers while accelerating your child's development. All of these ativities are provided in a group setting allowing interaction and socialization. This class is being offered on Wednesdays at 9am and Thursdays at 7pm.
