Testimonials

Our philosophy for children walking-six years is to teach them tumbling, dance and cheer in a fun, safe environment, while raising the child’s self-esteem. We believe in a success-oriented program that achieves perpetual motion and shouts FUN. With our curriculum based on tumbling and fitness, we can teach the basic physical skills while stimulating little minds to crave more learning and movement. Lesson plans are changed every two weeks for challenging fun. We incorporate nutritional information in an enjoyable manner to help fight childhood obesity. Jungle Gym is a member of the Mommy and Me Association, using activities that encourage the interaction and relationship between parent and child (class ages walking - 3 years).

A bigger family discount for tumbling, cheer and dance – 15%.  Only the largest tuition in the family pays full price, all lesser tuition fees will be discounted 15%. No other local dance or gym school gives this large of a family discount.  We LOVE families and want all the kids to be able to attend their favorite classes at Jungle Gym.  45 MIN. CLASS: $128.00, 60 MIN. CLASS: $141.00.  FULL TUITION AND THE $38.00 ANNUAL FAMILY REGISTRATION FEE (IF DUE DURING THE FIRST TERM) MUST BE PAID AT TIME OF REGISTRATION.

Minimum class number is three students, maximum is sixteen.

Baby Bears, 2/3 Bears
This 45 minute class brings the parents onto the floor amidst the excitement in this child directed program. It’s primarily for fun and parent/child bonding. Quality time for both is the key. Music and movement exploration is a major part of the curriculum. A small student/teacher ratio is kept for personal attention. Hand/eye coordination and ball handling skills are developed along with small motor development. It makes for a special time for the family.

3 All Me – Age 3 & Potty Trained (teacher recommended) (45 minutes)
This 45 minute class is designed for the three-year-old who has previously attended our parent & tot classes and has good listening skills or is at least 40 months old. We will keep a low ratio because the child will be on their own out in the gym working at stations and small circuits to further develop fine and gross motor skills.

Lions – Age 4 & Potty Trained (45 minutes)
This class is designed for development of tumbling, hand-eye coordination, ball-handling skills, movement to music, and over-all fitness utilizing small motor equipment where students learn and have FUN. These Lions learn by achieving skill, which foster self-esteem. Having healthy learning attitudes is key during their formative preschool years.

Jungle Tumble – Ages 4 – 6 (60 minutes)
This class is more skill-oriented. There is more structure with an emphasis on preschool tumbling. Even though the “fun” themes such as Outer Space Week are not done, more skilled themes such as Balance Week and Cartwheel Week encourage greater gymnastics development.

Cheer Bears/Gym
This class teaches basic cheer motions, chants, pom routines, and basic tumbling for girls who want to someday be a cheerleader.

Boys Only Tumble Ages 4-6
A new way for boys to stick together and concentrate on tumbling. In this class boys will focus on what it takes to become a powerful tumbler.
