Frequently Asked Gymnastics Questions

Our lesson plans run from September through June, giving your child a fun, varied, and engaging experience throughout the school year. Our trained coaches create lessons that build teamwork and teach skills that match each student’s current level. They also provide one-on-one support to help each child grow.

While a full season gives your child the most time to build strength, improve flexibility, and learn new skills, there’s truly no “wrong” time to join. Whether your child starts in September or joins later in the season, our coaches will help them feel welcome, included, and confident from the very beginning.

If your child becomes interested in our classes mid-season, we encourage you to enroll! Our coaches will help them start with the basics, build a strong foundation, and enjoy being part of the class right away.

Our regular season follows the school calendar, running from late August through mid-June. Families are welcome to join at any time and participate for as long as they like. Tuition is billed monthly.

If you need to drop a class, the primary account holder can request the drop through their customer portal account according to our drop policies. Drop requests must be submitted by the 20th of the current month to take effect the following month. For example, to stop classes starting in December, please submit the request by November 20.

If no drop request is submitted, your child’s enrollment and monthly billing will continue through the end of the season in June.

If your schedule changes, you may transfer your child into any open class by contacting the front office. Since classes fill quickly, we recommend joining waitlists a few months in advance. We’re happy to help you find the best option for your child!

Enrollment is ongoing, so your child will start with the next scheduled class after you enroll. We can’t pause or delay enrollment for a few weeks or a month. If you’d like to save a spot, you can excuse any classes your child will miss and make them up in accordance with TCG’s excused absence and make-up policies for regular ongoing classes.

These classes are not currently on our official schedule. They are waitlist-only classes that may become available at any time during the season.

There is no set date for when families will be notified, and there is no guarantee these classes will be offered.

We use waitlists to see how much interest there is in possible future classes. Whether a class is added depends on staffing, demand, and other class options.

If we decide we cannot offer a waitlist-only class, we will remove it from our system and let families know.

At The Children’s Gym, placing each child in the right class helps everyone have a more enjoyable and successful experience.

Some classes allow for an age overlap during the spring, giving children time to grow and progress at a comfortable pace.

In our school-aged program, children move up through levels based on a coach’s recommendation. Coaches watch each child’s skills during class and let the front office know when a child is ready for the next level. From there, we reach out to families to discuss the next steps.

Your child can move up once they turn 6, and sometimes even a month early. You may add your child’s name to a waiting list as early as two months before their 6th birthday.

When adding your child to a waiting list to age up, we encourage you to connect directly with our front office so we are aware and can appropriately adjust your child’s placement on the waiting list, if applicable. TCG does prioritize current students who are aging up on 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 summer or fall.

For the 2026–27 regular season, the rules for parents/guardians entering the facility will be as follows:

Children ages 5 and younger, including students in the preschool program, are required to have a parent/guardian on-site.

For children ages 6 and older, including students in the school-aged program, having a parent/guardian on-site is optional. However, we strongly encourage all parents, guardians, and caretakers to remain on-site and present for all classes, regardless of their student's age.

During the last few minutes of class, coaches will conduct end-of-class communication directly with students and their adults, making it especially important for caretakers to be onsite before class ends.

If you do choose to leave during class, we kindly ask that adults return onsite no later than 10 minutes before the scheduled class end time so they can come inside and be ready for dismissal.

Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring a few toys or books to keep your little ones busy while they wait.

Our waiting areas are cozy, enclosed spaces with toys, books, and activities for children who are not enrolled in class. For safety reasons, unenrolled children are not able to enter the gym area.

If you’re attending a parent participation class with one child, we can provide a nearby seat so you can keep an eye on their sibling. Bringing a fun activity can help keep your other child happy and entertained during class.

If your child needs any special accommodations, please contact us. We’re happy to help!
