Curriculum

Beginning at age 1 (walking) to age six, we provide a positive experience with physical fitness in class.  It's an enjoyable physical, mental, and social experience for your child.  We incorporate a blend of music, gymnastics (bars, beam, vault, tumbling, and trampoline) and the use of small motor equipment such as rhythmic ribbons, hoops, balls, and balloons.  We also have educational  theme weeks such as Dinosaur Week, Hollywood Week, and Outer Space Week.

A parent joins the child in class until the child is 3½ years old.  Tumblebear will develop your child's self-confidence and enhance their physical capabilities. Safety is of utmost importance.  Our scaled-down preschool equipment such as trampolines, incline mats, and uneven bars will make it even more fun to come and be a Tumblebear!  Our Preschool Gymnastics program is more skill oriented and specifically for parents looking for a more serious structured one-hour class for their child who is 4-6 years old.

Gymnastics

Baby Bears, 2/3 Bears
These classes are primarily for fun and child/parent bonding.  Music and movement exploration is a major part of the curriculum. Hand/eye coordination and ball handling skills are developed along with small motor development.  Children will also work on some gymnastics skills on bars, beam, trampoline, and Tumbl-Trak.

3 All me
This class is designed for the three-year old who has previously attended our Parent & Tot class,  has good listening skills, is at least 40 months old and is recommended by the teacher.  We'll 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.

Preschool Boys Tumble
These one-hour classes concentrate predominately on gymnastics skills along with an emphasis on over-all fitness. Students will learn skills on uneven-bars, balance beam, tumbling, trampoline, and Tumbl-Trak.

Ballet Bears

Ballet Bears is an introduction to dance, barre, center work, and combinations. The second half of the class adds tumbling and gymnastics.

Cheer Bears

Cheer Bears (ages 4-6) teaches basic cheer motions, chants, pom routines, and basic tumbling for girls who want to someday be a cheerleader. Jungle Gym offers cheerleading classes throughout the year for  girls ages 4 to 6 years old. Our cheer classes teach basic cheer motions, chants, pom routines and basic tumbling. Cheerleading classes are taught by former high school or college cheerleaders.
