Free Infant Class (Newborn - 6 months)
30 MINUTES - Free
This free introductory class geared towards new parents introduces babies to new stimuli including sounds and movements through the usage of music, bells, hoops and vivid colors. This class is instrumental in helping new parents develop a sense of community and gain early insight into the development and needs of their babies. Attendees learn how communication, even at this early stage, can shape a baby's world.
Start Our Small (6 months - walking)
30 MINUTES
Designed to introduce babies to different sounds and movements, we create an environment that helps them to become comfortable with different faces and voices. Little ones engage in activities to help them build a tolerance to sounds and changes, which also lends to better sleeping. Activities are incorporated to help stimulate the muscles used for crawling and walking. Music, bells, hoops, and vivid colors are also used to stimulate these babies.
Tots A Lot (10 - 17 months)
45 minutes
Activities in this class have a broader focus on coordination and balance to develop movement and motor skills. Listening for instruction takes on a greater role, and classes follow a regular structure, encouraging children to anticipate the routine.
Super-Tots (18 - 24 months)
45 MINUTES
Class activities encourage children to peer outside of their own environment as they begin socializing through parallel play. Simultaneously, a child's independence begins building as confidence and self-awareness grow through special "by myself" activities without the intervention of grown ups. Activities at this age are focused on developing early cognitive development. Children are introduced to basic gymnastics skills on the balance beam, swing bar and other apparatuses. All activities are explored through creative games like taking pretend trips to the zoo, riding an NYC bus, etc.
Tumbling Twos (24 - 36 months)
45 MINUTES
Children are introduced to the concept of separation as a part of their lives as adults are encouraged to watch activities from the sidelines of class. While enjoying the fun activities introduced in the earlier classes, we teach children patience as they wait to take turns and using listening ears to foster socialization. We continue to foster independence, building confidence and self-awareness through special "kids only" activities, while teaching gymnastics skills.
Transitional Twos (2.5 - 3.5yrs)
45 MINUTES
The concept of separation, taking turns and listening continues to be a focus as we work on improving a child's ability to take directions from their teachers. Activities include developing basic gymnastics skills on the balance beam and swing bar, executing leaps and tumbles and participating in guided dance parties. As always, children receive positive feedback on their accomplishments so that they leave class with a sense of pride.
Beginning Tumbling (3-5yrs)
45 MINUTES
Children's activities continue to foster independent work, introduce separation and teach children to set behavioral limits for themselves, while instilling pride in their accomplishments. Children are encouraged to take audio direction rather than visually mimicking activities.
