Frequently Asked Gymnastics Questions

We design our lesson plans to run from September through June, ensuring your child enjoys a diverse, exciting, and engaging experience throughout the school year. Our coaches are specially trained to create lessons that foster teamwork on skills appropriate for the students’ current level. They also offer personalized one-on-one coaching to support each child’s individual growth. Whether your child starts in September or joins us later in June, they’ll feel included, challenged, and celebrated every step of the way.
A full season offers the best opportunity for your child to build strength, improve flexibility, and learn a range of skills, but joining mid-season still offers valuable benefits. If your child shows interest in our classes in March, feel free to enroll them! Our coaches will help them get started with the basics, giving them a great foundation for the upcoming season.

Our regular season typically runs alongside the school calendar, starting from late August and going until mid-June. There’s no obligation to attend for the entire season—you’re welcome to enroll and participate as much or as little as you like. You can drop out on a month-to-month basis, with tuition billed monthly. If you decide to withdraw your child, just let us know by the 20th of the current month if you wish your child to be dropped starting the following month. For instance, if you want to pause classes starting in December, please inform us in writing by November 20th. If you don’t notify us, your child’s enrollment will continue automatically, and billing will proceed until the end of the season in June. To unenroll, the primary account holder must complete this drop form. 

If your schedule changes during the season, feel free to transfer your child into any open class by simply reaching out to the front office. Since classes tend to fill up quickly, we recommend signing up for waiting lists a few months in advance to secure a spot. We’re happy to help you find the best options for your child’s needs!

Unfortunately, the class enrollment is ongoing and open, so when you enroll, your child will start at the next scheduled class. We aren’t able to pause or delay enrollment for a few weeks or a month. If you’d like to secure a spot, you can excuse any classes your child will miss. Remember, up to two excused classes per month can be made up, and any absences beyond that will earn open gym credits. We’re here to help make your child’s experience enjoyable and flexible! 

To drop from our regular season classes, the primary account holder must complete this drop form. 

No worries! Our online system does ask for credit card details to be on file, but you won’t be charged until you officially enroll. If you join a waiting list, you’ll be notified via email whenever a spot becomes available for your child. At that point, you can choose to claim the spot or pass on it. If you do decide to claim it, billing will happen then. Remember, you can only create an account once you’ve either completed an enrollment or joined a waiting list.

These are classes that are not officially on our schedule; they are only a waiting list. These classes can become available at any time during the season, so there’s no fixed date when families will be notified. Please keep in mind that there’s no guarantee these classes will definitely be offered. We add waiting list classes to understand how much interest there is in potential future schedules. Whether we can offer these classes depends on factors like staffing, demand, and the overall class options. If at any point we find that we won’t be able to offer these waitlist-only classes, we’ll remove them from our system and inform families.

At The Children’s Gym, we believe that placing a child in the correct age group really helps everyone have a more enjoyable and successful experience. For our preschool program, we thoughtfully overlap age groups, giving students the chance to progress at their own comfortable pace.

In our school-aged program, children can advance through different levels, with a coach’s recommendation guiding those steps. Our coaches carefully observe each child’s skills during class and will inform the front office when they see that a child is ready to move up. From there, we love reaching out to families to discuss the next steps.

Your child can move up once they turn 6, and sometimes even a month early. To prepare for the transition, you can add your child’s name to the waiting lists as early as two months before their 6th birthday, while they are still 5. TCG will also include children who are already enrolled and are aging up, on the waiting list for the next class, at the same day and time they usually attend. Children who are enrolled and aging up will be given priority on the waiting lists.

Please keep in mind: children who turn 6 in the spring often stay in the preschool/Fancy Flippers class until the next season, whether that’s in summer or fall.

For the 2025-26 regular season, the rules for parents/guardians entering the facility will be as follows.

Children ages 5 and younger (preschool program):
A parent/guardian is required to be onsite.

Children ages 6 and older (school-aged program):
A parent/guardian onsite is optional.

Please remember to pick up all children inside the facility. If you’re not staying on site for the class, we kindly ask that you arrive about 5 minutes before the class ends so you can come inside and be ready for dismissal. If you have any concerns or need any special accommodations, don’t hesitate to contact our front office—they’re here to help!

Absolutely! We suggest bringing along a few toys or books to keep your little ones entertained while they wait. The waiting areas are cozy enclosed spaces with toys, books, and other activities aimed to entertain those unenrolled as they won’t be able to enter the gym area.

If you’re accompanying a sibling during the parent participation Roli Polie class, we can provide a seat nearby so you can comfortably keep an eye on them. Bringing a fun activity for your other child can help keep them busy and happy while you’re in class. If you need any special accommodations for your child, please don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to help!  

Absolutely! You can find our current make-up policies in the parent portal and in your online agreement forms. To ensure an absence qualifies for a make-up, it needs to be pre-excused, so please make sure to let us know in advance!
