2026-27 Season
Gymnastics Classes
Start Date: August 26, 2026
Last Day: Mid June 2027 (TBD)
About Our Gymnastics Program
Our classes are divided into two programs: Preschool Gymnastics Classes (which includes our adult-child classes) and School-Aged Children's Gymnastics Classes. Both programs are non-competitive, co-ed, and separated by age. To learn more about each program and our individual children's gymnastics classes, click the buttons below.
Within the school-aged program, we divide the Level 1 classes into three different classes. This helps meet the varying social-emotional needs and developmental changes of school-aged children. As children begin to master the skills in the Level 1 classes, coaches approve students to move into a Level 2 class. This process is handled within the front office and then communicated to families. Further movement between upper-level classes is dealt with similarly.
Class Cost:
Prices listed are for one class per week. Tuition is billed monthly based on four lessons and will be adjusted for months with more or fewer lessons.
A $45 yearly membership is required for all enrolled students. This membership is billed annually based on each student’s enrollment date.
Class Schedule:
During the school year (September through mid-June), we offer children’s gymnastics classes on Mondays through Saturdays, in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings.
During the summer months, our regular season pauses. While the gym primarily focuses on day camps from mid-June through the end of August, we may also offer drop-in summer gymnastics classes when possible.
“We've been members at the Children's Gym for about two years now and it has become the highlight of our week! We were even introduced to Irish Dance through the gym, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we truly appreciate Coach Maddie. She is gentle, kind, and so encouraging. The way she speaks and listens to each child in her class is inspiring. Her gentle method of coaching has inspired the children in her class to do their very best. She is an exceptional example of what a child's gymnastics coach should be. We leave the gym being touched by her kindness and are better for it.” – Amanda
Baby, Toddler & Preschool Gymnastics Classes
6 months through 5 years
Our adult-child classes: Curious Crawlers, Roli Polies, and Wiggly Walkers; provide a welcoming foundation for young gymnasts and their caregivers to explore movement, build confidence, and develop early body awareness together. Each class naturally builds on the one before it, with Wiggly Walkers gently preparing children for the independence of our 3-year-old Mini Movers class. Newcomers are always welcome in any of our classes, and our amazing coaches are here to support every child along the way.
Preschool classes are designed to support the physical, social, cognitive, and emotional growth of students while providing an engaging learning environment for gymnasts of all skill levels. Whether your child is brand new to gymnastics or has been practicing for years, our preschool program will build confidence, strengthen skills, and develop a strong gymnastics foundation.
Within our preschool program, it is common for students to overlap in age and remain in their current class during the late spring. For example, children with a late March or April birthday who are enrolled in our 4-year-old Tiny Tumblers class and turn five will typically remain in Tiny Tumblers rather than transfer into the 5-year-old Fancy Flippers class for the final two or three months of the season. If you have any further questions about classes, please do not hesitate to contact our office. We would be happy to discuss them with you.

School-Aged Gymnastics Classes
6 years & Older
Upon joining The Children’s Gym, students are placed in the introductory class that matches their age. Coaches monitor each student’s skill progression, and we’ll let you know when your child is ready to move up to the next level.
Level 1 classes are grouped by age. Starting at Level 2, classes are grouped by skill level only. Because every child progresses differently, students are encouraged to learn at a pace that feels comfortable for them, focus on their strengths, and take pride in their accomplishments. Each level covers a broad range of skills, so it is common for a student to spend multiple seasons in the same class before advancing. Some higher-level classes are combined as Upper Level classes for further skill and athlete development.
School-Aged classes are 55 minutes long and have either a 6:1 or 8:1 student-to-coach ratio.

At a 6:1 ratio, students receive individual instruction and attention within the group class setting. Basic and introductory gymnastics skills are worked on each piece of apparatus. Coaches build students’ self-confidence through positive reinforcement and foster improved work ethic and critical thinking by assigning independent extra jobs that complement coach-guided skills.
This class is designed for 6-year-olds, but as children turn 7, it is typically appropriate for them to remain in the class during the spring rather than changing classes late in the season. Children who are 7 in the fall and early winter should enroll in Gym Dandies.
