Parent-Child Class List

Squeakers (4 mos - 10 mos)

4 - 10mo

Even Squeakers have a lot to say and Tumbles loves to listen. In this class, children ages 4 to 10 months learn how to crawl through tunnels, ride on cool toys, do thumb pull-ups, manipulate objects and follow along with songs. In the development of these skills, understanding of speech improves and a sense of trust starts to develop. Squeakers also start gaining a better awareness of things around them and begin understanding cause/effect.

Squeakers / Wobblers (4 mos - 18 mos)

4 - 18mo

This is a combo class for those crazy crawlers who love to climb over mats and explore tunnels and mazes. The focus is on movement as children develop their gross motor skills through standing, pushing and assisted walking.

Wobblers (11 mos - 18 mos)

11 - 18mo

They may wobble as they walk but Wobblers have an unparalleled determination that makes everything a discovery. This Tumbles class for children ages 11 to 18 months encourages curiosity as your child learns how to push toys, kick a ball, walk on the balance beam, start basic tumbling techniques, sing songs and interact with others in a socially distant setting. In the development of these skills, children get to explore the gym all while sharpening their vocabulary skills and gaining more muscle control.

Wobblers / Wigglers (11 mos - 2.5 yrs)

11mo - 2.5y

This combo class is for our walkers who are ready to tackle different obstacle courses working on coordination and balance. Their little muscles are challenged as we begin working on upper body strength through swinging on rings and trapezes.

Wigglers / Super Wigglers (19 mos - 3 yrs)

19mo - 3y

This combo class challenges all kids in the 1 1/2 - 3 year old age range, but does not impose all the structure of the Super Wigglers class.  The skill level is brought up higher than the Wigglers class as kids learn to strengthen their bodies by swinging on rings and trapezes.  They'll also navigate through tunnels, over walls and obstacle courses.

Super Wigglers (2.5 yrs - 3 yrs)

2.5 - 3y

There's no such thing as terrible twos in this fun class! Children ages 2.5 to 3 learn skills that teach them how to climb a rope ladder, skillfully fly on the trapeze, and tumble. In the development of these skills, children also enhance their vocabulary, gain confidence in their jumping and running abilities, learn how to become more independent and perform in front of their peers.  This is the perfect class to get ready for our independent program starting at 3 years old.
