Mega Tot Program This program is designed to teach gymnastics to children ages 18 months to 5 years in a safe, fun and developmentally appropriate environment. Classes are held in a special area of the gym with equipment just for preschoolers. Lesson plans are changed every 3-4 weeks and designed by the director of the program. Every lesson plan includes stations at bars/rings, floor/tumbling, vault/strength and trampoline. The lessons are designed to safely and quickly teach the students gymnastics skills as well as skills they will need for kindergarten. The classes are arranged not only by age, but skill level as well. As soon as a child has mastered everything in one class or level, they are moved up into the next level. All children under 3 will start in a parent and tot class. All 3 year olds will start in a 3 year old class, and 4 & 5 year olds will start in a Level 1 class. Preschool Open Gym is now EVERY Friday from 10:00am-12:00pm Children ages 5 and under can come play and explore the gym with the assistance of a parent! See the home page for pricing information!

The children will be working on balance, coordination, body control and awareness, as well as gross motor skills. Activities will include, running, jumping, balancing, rolling, throwing, catching, kicking, bouncing, climbing, crawling, and much more! Each child's "Big Person" must have a signed Active Helper form on file at the front desk.

In this class, children will begin to learn the basics of gymnastics. They will learn in a fun, safe, and developmentally appropriate learning environment with children their same age. Not only will the class develop the children's bodies, but also their minds and social skills. Lesson plans incorporate numbers, colors, shapes, and movement recognition along with the basics of gymnastics. The class also teaches children to share, take turns, and be apart of a group. This class will mostly take place in the Mega Tot area of the gym, with frequent adventures to the trampoline, slide and foam pit!

Mega Tot 4 & 5 year olds Level 1: This class is where all the new 4 and 5 year olds will start and where some 3 year olds will be moved up to. This class is very similar to the 3 year old class, but it moves at a faster pace with a bit more advanced skills. Each lesson will work on developing the foundation for gymnastics skills. Once the progressions have been mastered and skills are beginning to be formed, the child will be moved up to Level 2. Class days and times: Monday 9:30am-10:15am and 5:35pm-6:20pm Tuesday 10:20am-11:05m, and 6:25pm-7:10pm Wednesday 10:20am-11:05am, and 4:45pm-5:30pm Thursday 5:35pm-6:20pm Saturday 10:35am-11:20am Level 2: This class is the next step up from level 1 and sometimes from the 3 year old class. Level 2 builds on the foundation built in earlier classes and starts to stress skill acquisition. Repetition of basic skills, drill and strength activities will help your child start to master more complex skills and start to put those skills into combinations. Classes will focus on not only mastering skills, but also mastering skills with proper technique. Class days end times Monday 6:25pm-7:10pm Tuesday 5:35pm-6:20pm Thursday 7:15pm-8:00pm Level 3: This is the most advanced level in the Mega Tot program. In this class, children will continue to build good basic gymnastics and begin to attempt more advanced gymnastics skills along with more strength and flexibility exercises. Classes will occasionally venture out from the Mega tot area and give students an opportunity to experience the "big gym". Open Classes Tuesday 7:15pm-8:00pm Thursday 6:25pm-7:10pm |
