Children “experience by doing” what children do best - rolling, jumping,
swinging, balancing in a semi-structured program that provides individual
instruction as well as group participation. The important elements of early
learning – colors, shapes, movement and music - combined with the use of
gymnastics, create a stimulating learning environment and allow each child
to develop individually and in a social atmosphere. Creative expression is
achieved by using music, games and modified gymnastics equipment.
Classes are 45 minutes long, and children attend without parents.

Music and a variety of appropriate hand-held equipment (hula hoops, bean bags, lummi sticks, rhythmic ribbons, balls) are used to improve eye-hand and foot-eye coordination. Classes are 45 minutes long and use gymnastics exercises, modified gymnastics equipment and Olympic apparatus.
