Our highly trained instructors shower the children with affection, as they guide our Waddlers in early social skills through interactive songs, choreographed dances, age-specific puppet shows, special rides, and a variety of swings and other original activities.
Gymsters

Preschool Prep ZOOM
2 yrs to 5 yrsAs experts in early child development, we understand how pre-kindergarten education impacts children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development. Now, when children are staying safe at home, it is especially important for preschoolers to have opportunities to practice and develop their emerging skills. In our commitment to educate the whole child, we now offer the My Gym Preschool Prep Program - LIVE on Zoom! Preschool Prep focuses on making learning enjoyable and interactive, not passive. Our friendly and nurturing teachers lead children and parents through a rich 30-minute curriculum that repeats throughout the week so that kids have a chance to master their skills.
Terrific Tots
2½yrs - 3¼yrsIn addition to having fun with structured games, fascinating "Adventures," and pre-gymnastics, our Terrific Tots learn beginning sports skills, gain fine and gross motor proficiency, and strengthen manipulative skills.
The youngsters become more independent as teachers are now interacting more directly with them. Parental involvement is gradually decreased through inviting activities with love and understanding, and the children exude pride and self-esteem as they are treated like "big kids."
In this age group, teaching physical skills is a top priority. The development of social skills is also emphasized, as the youngsters become good listeners, follow directions, cooperate in a group, and learn more about themselves.
