Our preschool classes are a fun and engaging way for preschoolers to learn and grow both physically and mentally our classes are designed to develop the key movements skills required for life.

The children explore naturally so gymnastics and parkour are a great way for children to be curious and explore and learn how their body moves in a safe environment.  Our classes will assist your child with movement as confidence increasing their overall confidence and self esteem.

Our preschool gymnastics programme has been designed to help children learn how to follow directions, improve coordination, gain courage, self confidence, resilience, patience, to ask for help as well as interacting with adults and peers.  Our classes are a great bonding play session for you and your child.  Our classes involve learning new movements and skills which can help stimulate a child’s cognitive development.  By practicing and refining their movements preschoolers can improve their problem solving skills and increase their spatial awareness.

Come along, have some fun and see the difference!  

Play Gym (2-3years): Play Gym is a class where children will still move around with their parents, caregivers and/or grandparents.  In Play Gym classes we work on fundamental movement patterns to continue developing and gaining new skills in a safe environment.  We will be further developing fine and gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, social and emotional skills, cognitive development, having fun, coordination and gaining self esteem and confidence through movement.

Jump Gym (3-4years): Play Gym Plus is an extension class from the Play Gym 2–3-year-old class as we continue to develop the class to allow our children to be ready and competent to move to into the Gymsports class.  At this age children may start to become more independent and able to try the gymnastics skills on their own with their parents/caregivers close by if help is needed.  During these classes the gymnasts will become stronger and more confident whilst working through fundamental movement patterns.

Star Gym (4-5years): Gymsports is a class where we will extend our children in all areas of the gymsport codes. The gymsport codes include; gymnastics, parkour, tumbling, trampolining and rhythmic which will help with transition into our 5year+ classes.  This class also helps children prepare for school through the development of their social and emotional skills, listening skills, following instructions, their eye development, hand-eye coordination and foot-eye coordination.

Little Ninjas (4-5 years) – Little Ninjas is a combination of gymnastics and parkour.  In this class we work through the fundamental movement patterns and gymnastics skills across all apparatus as well as the basics of parkour which will help transition the child into our 5+ year classes.  Have the basic skill set of both gymnastics and parkour can help your child decide which class is more suited to them. 

DROP IN CLASS – A class where your child can come along and play on our equipment supervised by a parent/caregiver.  This session is $5 per child and runs for 45 minutes.  A coach is available but it is not a structured class.
