Get Kids Moving with The Little Gym

Sharing is caring!

Movement and music are great tools to help children grow and develop. While my daughter loves both music and movement, she can be very shy and timid around other people. When the opportunity to have her attend a free class at our local Little Gym came up, I jumped at the chance. I love the variety of classes they offer for children starting as young as 4 months old. There are classes offered every day of the week, and at multiple times. Sass attended the class for 3-4 year olds on Friday at noon. The class lasted 50 minutes, and was led by 2 instructors. I was a little worried that she wouldn't want to go in with me watching from the viewing window in the lobby. However, the instructors were so good at distracting and welcoming all of the children, I had nothing to fear. She participated in all of the songs and activities. Her favorite part was jumping on the blow up strip and using the gymnastics equipment. It was amazing to see her confidence grow in such a short time.

About The Little Gym

• The Little Gym offers unique, educational, movement-based classes for children 4 months through 12 years.

• Robin Wes, an innovative educator, musician, and kinesiologist founded The Little Gym over 41 years ago. Robin envisioned a nurturing place where children could explore their physical development, while also growing socially, emotionally, and intellectually.
