Movement Classes

Movement Classes (For ages walking to 3 years old)

The Movement Program includes all of the parent and tot, and toddler programs. This program is designed to develop the child’s gross motor and social skills. Through exploration on a variety of equipment, children utilize the gross or large muscles of the body like those in the arms, legs and core. Gross motor skills develop over a relatively short period of time and most gross motor skill development occurs during childhood. Through movement programming, your child will develop coordination, balance, flexibility, agility and strength while working on circuits and manipulatives. Through this process, your child will also increase self-esteem and self-confidence. This is also a great opportunity to get to know and play in a different environment with new friends and gain more communication skills while being lead though class by a coach!

Teeny Tadpoles – Ages 6 months/non-walker. 30-minute parent & tot class – Teeny Tadpoles is for our smallest participants. This class is for non-walkers, typically under 12 to 18 months of age. This 30-minute parent and tot class is structured to allow for exploration on the gym floor and the equipment with a coach. The coach will also lead the class through songs, manipulatives and activities, and introduction to new circuits each week.

Tiny Tadpoles –  Walking to 24 months old. 30-minute parent & tot class – Tiny Tadpoles is for babies who are walking (typically 1-year-old) to 2 years old. This 30-minute parent and tot class is structured to introduce the children and their parents to the gym. They will practice social and movement skills through circuits, songs, activities, and manipulatives.

Wee Tadpoles – 24 months to 2.5 years old. 30-minute parent & tot class – Our Wee Tadpoles class is for toddlers who are between 2 – 2.5 years old. The class structure is similar to the Tiny Tadpoles class, but we will begin to start seeing more growth in social and movement skills during this time. This class will also use circuits, songs, activities, and manipulatives.

Tumbling Tadpoles – 2.5 years to 3 years old. 30-minute class, first class of independence. – Tumbling Tadpoles is the first class that the child is able to participate independently on the floor from their parents. This 30-minute class develops and practices independence with the coach, and continues to use circuits, songs, activities, and manipulatives in the class structure. Children will also focus on taking turns and listening to the coach while gaining confidence in their motor skills. Please note – if your child is this age but you would like to join them to experience the classes, please register for our Wee Tadpoles parent and tot class instead.
