Our preschool gymnastics classes are the perfect introduction to gymnastics for kids between the ages of 18 months to 4 years. All of our preschool classes rotate around the same 4 events you would see in the Women’s Gymnastics competitions; Balance Beam, Floor, Bars, and Vault. The only difference in the apparatus that these classes use, is that they have been scaled down to better accommodate those tiny hands and feet our students have. (For example, instead of a 4” inch beam, our preschool classes work on a 6” beam, which helps get them comfortable on a balance beam and builds confidence.)
All of our students here at Gymnastics Elite are gold medal champions! We LOVE to celebrate them, from their birthdays to acknowledging their accomplishment as they move up through the levels. Each child can come in to our facility with the Olympic Gold Medal dream, and our coaches and staff will nurture and guide them into the sport of gymnastics to give them the best opportunity to make those dreams come true!
All of our lesson plans and obstacle course set-ups run for 2 weeks, to give the kids a different and challenging experience but just the right amount of time for consistency in their skills and improvement. Not only will your little one learn gymnastics, coaches will also work on developing social skills; waiting for their turn, sharing with their classmates, lining up and learning the importance of following directions.
