Pre-School Program

The Gym-Nats program begins building positive learning experiences as early as 8 months and goes up to 5 years of age, for both boys and girls. We have classes for "4 On-The-Floor", Parent and Me, Separation, Tiny-Tots, and Advanced Tots. All classes are grouped according to age.

Experts in the field of child development agree that acquiring a healthy outlook toward learning is just as important as mastering specific skills. As parents and teachers the most important thing for us to remember is that views on learning are formed during the preschool years. There is not a better time to form a positive learning attitude than during the preschool years.

The best way to get children to want to learn is to add fun. Our "Educational Obstacles" incorporate a combination of gymnastics, challenges, consistency and repetition, as well as a host of other techniques to develop a great foundation for learning and reinforcing physical, mental and social development.

At the Gym-Nest, our trained instructors incorporate a variety of methods to accomplish these goals. Many professionals believe that Gymnastics is the foundation to all other sports and physical activities. Our preschool program is designed to use gymnastics and fundamental body movements as a platform to develop a well-rounded child in a positive atmosphere.

With weekly gymnastic lessons promoting a confident "I can do that" attitude children develop skills that lay the foundation for success throughout all aspects of their lives.
