Our classes begin with a musical warm-up that focuses on stretching and modified
yoga positions. This segment also includes singing, counting in different languages,
body identification exercises, and alphabet recitation. The following segment, the
tumbling portion, is the core of our program and concentrates on building manipulative
loco-motor skills with the use tumbling equipment and props to create a dynamic circuit.
The children practice turning, jumping, catching, balancing, climbing, stepping, and
rolling while exploring space relations (under, over, distance), lateral movements, and
speed variations.
All activities are supervised so the children learn proper tumbling techniques. Children
thrive in our caring environment where they feel physically and emotionally safe. Class
finishes with the children receiving a stamp on their hand for a job well done. Our
curriculum ensures steady progress and rewarding accomplishments, and the variation
of themes builds on previous skills to guarantee a dynamic and fun challenge.
As students improve their flexibility, balance, coordination, strength, and rhythm, they
are also improving their listening skills by following directions, and learning self-control,
team play, and cooperation. As a result of these improvements the children become
more confident, independent, and willing to challenge themselves. Children who have
healthy self images are on the path to becoming happy, well-adjusted adults.
