About Our Children’s Gymnastics Program
Our classes are divided into two programs: Preschool Gymnastics Classes and Recreational 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.
NOTE
When trying to enroll or waitlist in classes a “register” link will appear next to the classes or they will appear within the parent portal. When a class is full a “waitlist” link will appear. For classes that are both full and have a full waiting list there will not be a link available. This means the waiting list is full. We recommend checking back from time to time to see if the waiting list has become available to join.
Waiting lists are capped at a certain number of students to keep classes and those waiting as manageable as possible. Joining a waiting list does not guarantee you will be offered an opening. During the later part of the season most waiting lists are closed.
Class Cost:
Prices listed below refer to signing up for one class; once-a-week attendance. Tuition is billed monthly and is based on 4 weeks/4 lesson within the month. TCG will adjust billing for months with more than 4 lessons as well as prorate for months with less than 4 lessons. Enrolling in more than one class per week is not required, but is encouraged for upper level classes as it will help gymnasts get stronger and improve their skills more quickly. Remember, repetition is key to developing gymnastics skills.
Class Schedule:
During the school year (September to mid-June), we offer children’s gymnastics classes in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings Monday – Saturdays.
During the summer months, our regular season stops. While the gym primarily focuses on day camps from mid-June to the end of August, we do offer a limited children’s gymnastics schedule. Classes held during the summer months are completely separate from regular season classes.

“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

Recreational Gymnastics Classes
6 years & Older
Upon joining The Children’s Gym, a student is automatically placed into the introductory level class for their age. Coaches will monitor student’s skill progression and we will notify you when your child is ready to advance levels.
Level 1 classes are separated by age. Starting at Level 2, classes are separated only by skill level. No two students will progress at the same rate. We believe that children need to be allowed to achieve at a pace that is comfortable for them and encourage students to focus on their strengths and be proud of their accomplishments. Each level spans a wide range of skills and it is not uncommon for a student to spend multiple seasons in a particular class level before advancing.
Recreational classes are 55-minutes long and have an 8-1 student-coach ratio.
Please review our Recreational Program Document.
