ABOUT OUR PROGRAM:
Our pre-school program is based on the way that young children develop and learn naturally. Research shows that early stimulation of a child's brain, especially through movement, helps to create and solidify brain synapses and can have long-lasting positive effects on your child's learning attitude and behaviors well beyond the pre-school years into elementary and even on to adulthood. With this knowledge, our program includes many activities that you might not see in another gymnastics class. Our curriculum is created specifically for our students. Gymnastics professionals across the country agree that the developmental needs of preschoolers are different than those of school-age children. A top-notch pre-school gymnastics program should include more than just gymnastics skills and should not be based solely on the USAG competitive skills. Fun and safety are the basis of every class at Leaps & Bounds!
