MINI STARS GYMNASTICS
Ages 3 & 4 Years Old
Our preschool gymnastics classes are designed with the needs of the preschooler in mind. Participation in a preschool gymnastics class is an opportunity for children to begin experiencing gymnastics without the help of parents.
Your child will begin to learn and master skills at this level. They will be introduced to all 4 Olympic events (Beam, Bars, Floor and Vault).
Gymnastics is one of the best sports for toddlers to be involved in – along with developing your child’s gymnastics skills and physical fitness, our preschool gymnastics program will also help build a strong foundation for your child to develop discipline, a sense of athletic achievement, self-esteem and social skills that will last a lifetime!
SPORTS READINESS BENEFITS
Participation in organized sports provides an opportunity for toddlers to increase their physical activity and develop physical and social skills. This will help prepare them for all other sports or activities they will participate in.
LOCOMOTOR CURRICULUM
Locomotor skills are the basic ways to move, the building blocks of coordination. Locomotor activities occur frequently in gymnastics such as running, skipping, hopping, jumping and landing. Gymnastics class helps develop all of these locomotions.
SOCIALIZATION
The major component of our curriculum is Socialization, which we believe is as important as the physical development. With every interaction from other students, instructors or strangers, it teaches them to learn language skills, ways to cope with emotions and how to work within social norms.

About our Mini Stars Director
Kierstyn is the Tiny & Mini Star Program Leader and instructs in both programs. She designs and develops the progressive curriculum and themes for both programs to make it an easy transition for children.
When she isn’t working, Kierstyn loves spending time with her twin daughters and husband.
Children develop their fundamental movement skills between the ages of 2 and 5. Each stage of a youngster’s development presents critical learning periods. In general, a child will benefit by their involvement in gymnastics regardless of the age that they begin!
No. Our only parent and child class we offer is our Tiny Stars program.
